    Isn't Notre Dame's TV contract with NBC not CBS?

    Yeah, and the NBC contract is for multiple years, not just one game. CBS College Sports sometimes show repeat version of their games

    So was it the usual 'excellent' research by an Independent journalist or did CBS really fork out $1m for a repeat?

    So even though this is technically a home game for Navy, Notre Dame will bring a strong travelling support. For its part, Navy are not holding back. The traditional flyover before each Navy game will take place while thousands of Navy personnel will be shipped into Dublin for the game. It should be some spectacle.

    Wonder if they'll have a ship in the bay around Dun Laoghaire/Sandycove again. Remeber JFK being there aons ago!

    Annoyed that I missed this presale - it would have been great to secure 2 tickets early.

    If anyone has 2 that they want to sell, please let me know. Otherwise I'll hang on for them to go on general release.

    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

    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.

    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
