Does anyone know the profits expected from the soccer last night ? The stadium looked great

They'll be published in the year-end annual report. If you can't wait that long, if you e-mail Croke Park, they'd probably tell you too, once the accounts team have gone through the numbers.

What was the rent?
Hopefully at least €10 a head.
Did GAA get takings from food/drink sales?

At least the drink was decent. Loose description calling it food what they usually offer to eat. Do they not just a flat rate to rent the stadium? Was guaranteed to be a sellout. Atmosphere looked awful on the telly. Very friendly for a preseason friendly and the pitch too far away from supporters. Livened up for the penalties. Hopefully GAA got a good payday from it.

Didn't the Katie Taylor promoter complain for years that the fee of 1m was too high and prohibitive.
