2003 Special Olympics
A capacity crowd welcomed the athletes, their families along with over 31,000 volunteers, of all ages and backgrounds, to Croke Park on a night of celebration and unmatched atmosphere.
Our stadium provided the backdrop for spectacular opening & closing ceremonies for the games, an occasion which lives on memory as one of the truly great moments in Special Olympic, and our own history here in Croke Park.
