The Waterford Crystal Chandelier in the Player’s Room at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland
The chandelier is composed of thirty-two crystal Gaelic footballs (those are the big balls) and seventy sliotars (the small ones). The sliotar is the ball used in hurling, while the footballs are used in Gaelic football (obviously), which are the two major Gaelic games played at Croke Park. The thirty-two footballs represent the thirty-two counties of Ireland, all of them having teams competing for the championship, while the seventy sliotars stand for the seventy minutes of play in a championship game. The chandelier uses LED technology to change to the colors of the winning team being entertained in the Player’s Room (so, say Galway wins, then they’re maroon and white; if Dublin wins, they turn sky blue and navy blue; if it is Wexford, then it’s purple and gold and so on). Should the winning team’s colors include black (like Kilkenny), then half of the lights are shut off to symbolize black.
