1. Croke Park opened it’s doors to soccer and rugby and other sports starting in 07, by removing the foreign sports rule when the aviva was being developed which was highly contentious given the conflict history with Britain in the past even including a massacre in the stadium itself (as i and most of the country are actually progressive, I’m proud to say it got the green light and some of the most memorable moments in irish sporting history were created there in the few years the venue was needed.) So there won’t be a problem getting it played there especially with Rooney.

2. Capacity is 82,300 4th largest stadium in europe, however it is only 3/4 all seating as picture may show so if temporary seating needed, which was used for the soccer games, this will be slightly reduced but the stadium should still exceed aviva where the notre dame game was which can fit 50,000.

3. The following over here is only increasing. Yes you will sell it out, with or without the fans in the u.k and other parts of europe who will travel if it’s they’re favourite team (We are actually closer than America for them).

4. Despite these I do understand why americans want their home games to stay, it is their sport, i’d feel the same. this is just to prove that games in Ireland would work.

What’s that? You don’t want to? Then quit getting other teams to lose a home game by playing overseas.

realfann you are clueless about Dublin. Its a great place and they would sell the game out. Of course you’ve probably never been more than 20 miles from your trailerpark so I understand the attitude.

That’s the daftest idea I’ve heard in a long time.

Maybe 5 thousand attendance. 10 thousand if the pubs are shut.

Stop going to other countries.
