Conor McKeon: Protests prove less than thunderous but GAA not yet out of the Allianz storm
"It was that wild in Croke Park on Saturday night that with its new NFL grade floodlights and swanky rolling LED signage, the big house looked like Time Square in a monsoon. The wind blew in three directions at once. Rain swirled and danced overhead in the high-definition light. Anyone in attendance left with a lifetime exemption from fair-weather supporter accusations."
"With round one down, a full squad protest seems remote now"

The lighting combined with fierce weather made the venue resemble Times Square during a monsoon. Strong winds shifted unpredictably, blowing in three directions at once. Rain swirled and danced in the high-definition lights above the pitch. Spectators endured severe conditions and those who attended earned a figurative lifetime exemption from accusations of being fair-weather supporters. The dramatic environment showcased the stadium's upgraded technology amid challenging weather.
