    Indo saying this is one of the biggest tourist events in years for the State. Expected revenue of the event is to exceed 23million. Are ESPN definitely showing it this year?

    It's a 2pm kick off so on one hand it would fit nicely with the first game in the States at 5/6pm our time but it would clash with ESPN's College Gameday programme so I don't know

    Maybe RTE could drag Myles Dunfan out and broadcast it (only joking - I would not want to see that)

    Its opening weekend so looks like there'll be games all day from with this game kicking things off at 9am (US time)

    I'm pretty sure it will be on ESPN America, as they carry a lot of CBS feeds and the Navy's official sports website confirmed it would be on ESPN America (although I know sometimes our ESPNA content differs from mainland Europe's version).

    In other news, Notre Dame will be wearing these for the game. It's a big enough deal, ND are like the anti-Oregon in that they rarely make any changes to their uniform. It was a huge deal even for them to wear throwback uni's against Michigan last year.

    And anyone expecting an upset, keep in mind that Notre Dame opened at -13.5 favourites ;)

    No upset. I actually think it'll be over as a contest by half time

    I posted details a few pages back.. The party doesn't stop at 2. It continues through as pubs in the area are showing the game

    These Notre Dame lads are cheeky feckers, trying to roil up the home crowd for themselves when they got Navy to cede the home game.

    Oh, and the boots are fugly - of all the things to put our national flag on the things they'll be standing on all day wasn't exactly the brightest option in the deck.

    Anyone willing to do their bit for Irish tourism and the image of Irish abroad and give a bed, couch or floor to one of the travelling fans and if so how best to arrange it?

    Sweet jaysus, there is a pair on upper endzone tickets on ebay for $600 and still going with just over a day to go.

    Somebody must really want to see their midshipmen/irish

    I bought mine in the December pre-sale but they still haven't been sent out. I don't mind too much as long as I get them before 1st September.

    :eek:
    Those prices are going to keep going up and up. Its amazing the amount who are travelling for the game.

    I really hate touting...I've never sold a ticket over face value to anyone...but it does make me wonder what they'd be willing to pay for my 2 premium level section 318 behind the endzone :eek:
    My dad is raging at the mo he got invited to a wedding the day before (friday) and it's someone he can't refuse. He's gonna be rushing back to dublin for the match so he'll miss the craic in temple bar too.

    Ticketmaster account says they haven't been dispatched yet. Is that reliable or are they likely to be waiting for me when I'm back in Ireland next week?

    It's reasonably reliable. It'll show that they're dispatched at least a few days before you receive them.

    Ticketmaster stated today that my tickets were being processed. This is a change from yesterday when it said that the tickets had not been dispatched yet.

    Hopefully it changes yet again tomorrow.
