Vikings-Steeler in Dublin ist das zweitbeste NFL Network Internationales Spiel überhaupt

> Viewership for the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ 24-21 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Croke Park in Dublin was 7.9 million viewers

> is up +68% versus NFL Network’s 2024 International Games average.

100% they’ll be back.

The government are willing to invest, the buy in from the Irish public was massive and all the major yank journalists are writing flattering articles about how much fun they had and how lovely the people are.

Could do without the widely spread inaccuracies like rugby being our national pastime or Ireland having to hold a referendum to allow foreign games in Croke Park, but Brand Ireland came out very well this weekend.

Fantastic. More events like these please, City was buzzin

Okay?

Right but it’s a bit nuanced than just it being over here. It was the only match on TV at the time so they had no competition. It was two strong teams on papers (yeah yeah VIkings QB injuries not with standing) and at least one of which is going to the playoffs. That said we now have a multi year reputation for hosting American Football at different levels that continues to show investment. People can be begrudging about this but year after year the Americans have flown over for American Football it’s a no brainer for any Government until it dries up.

I dont give a flying fuck about american football, but the buzz around this was great, and it apparently brought joy to a lot of people so thats a win for me

And all the people moaning about america bla bla, will you get a grip, look at how many people got happiness out of this game, let them enjoy it.

If you dont like it dont watch it.
