Overview
- The Sept. 28 matchup at Dublin’s Croke Park marks the league’s inaugural regular-season game in Ireland.
- More than 600,000 devices queued for tickets, and the NFL’s registry showed roughly one‑third interest from the U.S., Ireland, and the rest of Europe.
- The Irish government committed up to €9.95 million in support and projects about €64 million in additional economic activity, with more than 30,000 international visitors expected.
- Croke Park’s capacity is reduced from 82,300 with a seated standing section, a replaced pitch, and an expanded media center, and attendance is expected to be about 75,000.
- The deal covers one game followed by an evaluation, and the Vikings will then play in London to become the first team with back‑to‑back international games in different countries.
