Croke Park is a world class sporting and events venue located in Dublin’s inner city. It has a capacity of 82,300, making it one of the largest stadiums in Europe. The venue hosts multiple sporting and music events each year and is a busy corporate entertainment venue. The stadium’s location, in a residential area, presents ongoing challenges for the operations team when hosting large events. Sonitus Systems were asked to provide a real time noise control system to help the stadium manage noise at nearby properties.
