Home of Gaelic Games, was the 2nd biggest stadium in Europe after the Nou Camp, but Wembley overtook it when it was redeveloped. The uncovered end contains terracing.

:tup: Well done faaip, was going to post the photo below as a hint - all those 🇳🇴 flags and the ‘Oslo’ on the slope giving a pretty good clue

Got to say one sport I’ve never fancied giving a try.
