Croke Park will be turned into a party zone this Sunday, regardless of the result on the pitch.  Dublin take on Meath in the Leinster Football final and the Davin Stand Car Park will be turned into a family fun zone for the occasion.
The all-new family fun zone, which is to become a permanent installation at Croke Park for the remainder of the football and hurling championship campaigns, will include the Leinster Council’s inflatable playing pitch as well as other inter-active games and activities for young players and fans.
Two of the Championship sponsors will be making their presence felt by way of SuperValu’s giant Sam Maguire trophy and Ulster Bank’s interactive kicking game which will test the skills of budding footballers.
A number of Dublin and Meath clubs will compete in the Leinster GAA road show pitch while training and coaching tips will also be available from expert coaches on the day.
Dublin and Meath heroes of 1991, when the sides locked horns over a number of drawn games, are guests of honour at Croke Park and will be introduced to the crowd at half time in the senior game.
Leinster Council chairman Martin Skelly is expecting the biggest sporting crowd of the year to date, hoping for a figure of 60,000 to attend. “We believe that Sunday’s minor and senior double header billing of Dublin v Meath will be a unique occasion with so much going on around the games themselves,” he said.
