Wouldnt be so sure about that. There will be 20,000 Americans coming over for the game at least. Definately wise to get your ticket as early as possible just in case

Will tickets be available from ticketmaster?

[BastardPrince]

yes in march

[the_big_shmoke]

Let's go IRISH - hopefully there will be good ticket available to buy. Can't wait to go to the game. Was trying to get to the Michigan state game a few years back during the Charlie Weis years, looking forward to the Brian Kelly version of the irish v navy in the Aviva.

Not sure if anyone posted this yet, didnt see anything, but there was a delegation of three from South Bend present at Lansdowne last weekend for the Irish Wales match. They were doing a full evaluation of the ground on gamedays

Thought I heard yer man collins, the sports guy, on today FM this morning mention something about the game? I've had it on in the car since but haven't heard what he said...the sports news is usually repeated every hour.

Anyone hear it or am I losing my marbles?

Friday night lights: Navan’s Páirc Tailteann to host high-school American football game
4 hours ago 306 Views 1 CommentShare3 Tweet Image: Adam Davy/EMPICS SportNAVAN WILL HOST an American football game between two of the United States’ top high school teams next summer.

As part of the Global Ireland Football Tournament (GIFT) 2012, Notre Dame Preparatory High School Saints from Scottsdale, Arizona and Father Judge High School Crusaders from Philadelphia will kick off their regular season on Friday, 31 August at Páirc Tailteann, the GAA have confirmed.

“The great bond between our two nations is well documented,” said Meath County Board chairman, Bernard Allen. “I trust our visitors will enjoy their historic visit to an equally historic county. Coiste na Mí is determined to make their stay an unforgettable one. We hope the memories they will take with them from the Royal County will endure well into the future.”

Two more traveling teams, who will open a two-game festival of American Football, are due to be confirmed, the Association said last night.

Notre Dame and Navy meet in the Aviva Stadium in September

I'd like to think all the bars will be open for this and we can drink at our seats like they do in the US.

NFL yes but I'm not sue if that's the case at college games. As they are students and you have to be 21 to drink legally in the States I'm not sure if you can drink at college games.

I've never been to a game over there so I'm just guessing but it wouldn't surprise me if games were dry
