  2. I'm from Ireland and had gone to the previous 2 college football games, but I had to miss this one. I was however in Dublin a few hours before and loved all the atmosphere of the people all around the streets. I've loved each match, from the close Nebraska Northwestern, to the atmosphere of Notre Dame playing in Ireland, and when I get to watch this one, the fact it was an upset on a walk-off field goal is insane. Love to see what people think about American Football here. And hopefully there's an NFL game here soon, but this is still a great experience

  3. I would love to go, I have been watching the NFL and college football for over 20 years but have never had the chance to go to a game, it would also be cool because I am in the Georgia area and also something cool is I’m 92% Irish although I was born in the USA. Anyways great video as always and I wish y’all the best of luck for your channel and all around life.

  4. There has been a stadium in that place landsdowne road since 1872 ,though the aviva is just built since 2010.Irish sports culture differs from sport to sport mind you soccer fan culture takes place over in england as most support Premier league teams

  5. Brilliant Video, really enjoyable to watch and Sorry but food will never be average. But at least you had the craic. Delighted you had a good time in Dublin and hope that the next time you come back, College football will be back in its true Irish home Croke Park.

  6. You talk about the Aviva and it being there since 2010 as if we bulldozed a load of houses but there’s been a stadium on Lansdowne Road going back to 1872.
    Absolutely adore the place and I’ll be honest I think if you want to do it justice you’ve got to go during a capacity rugby match, the atmosphere is absolutely electric.
    We just don’t have the same investment in American football. That said I haven’t been to the games myself, definitely will look to go in the future.

    Being totally honest, Dublin city is a kip and I really don’t understand why yanks like it so much. Literally 30 minutes on the train or bus in any direction are beaches and harbours or out into the country.

  7. The food in Dublin isn’t great? What? That is definitely is not true at all 😂 food scene there is amazing.. but stadium food is gonna be stadium food!

  8. The stadium has been there since 1872, known as Lansdowne Road. Demolished in 2007, rebuilt as the Aviva Stadium 2010. The old stadium was very open, windy, rustic, standing only on two sides of the ground.All corporate now, of course, all seating.

  9. WOH WOH!.you heard Dublin food is not great (stadium food aside )..and you're here from the States ??..Whaaaat ?…You need to stay away from crap chain restaurant food guys.

  10. Whoever told you that Dublin/Irish food isn't great hasn't a clue about food. If you're ever in Ireland again I would implore you to do to a real restaurant/food outlet (non-stadium or McDonalds etc) and experience real and proper Irish food

  11. The stadium looks like a bed pan.. it's designed like that so local residents can maintain as much natural light as possible

  12. Typical Americans 🤦🏻‍♂️
    Wise up and experience real Dublin/Ireland. You can’t base food on bloody processed Vender or stadium food🤦🏻‍♂️
    American Football will never kick off here no matter how much you try pump into it. Your relying on fans flying into the country as Irish won’t get behind this. We’ve our own Gaelic Games that if more effort/time/finances were injected into club and community levels they would explode!!
    You’ll only have South Dublin nobs trying to be American 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂
    Nothing on you guys at all. Just keeping it real.
    Yous do a great job 👏 ❤Ireland

  13. It is called Landsdowne road stadium not the Aviva stadium. Most diehard rugby fans in Ireland like myself call it by the old name and while beautiful has an inferior atmosphere to the old stadium. The entire ground has been used for Rugby union since 1872 with the six nations the main internationals dating back to 1884 as the home nations championship. Major Leinster matches are played there as well. Also from sky there is an outline of a rugby ball in the roof.

    In terms of American football much like Rugby League it barely exists in Ireland while rugby union is ranked 4th in terms of popularity. Easy to see why as all you need is a decent pair of boots, gum shield, rugby socks, rugby jersey and rugby shorts, with scrum caps and rugby gloves being optional extra. It is also a far more athletic game to play as most players have to do the full 80 minutes with less stoppages. Also a sport that can be played from 5 to 55 as it is not only a educational institute sport, I.E a lot of it is small amateur clubs on muddy pitches in winter. None of that 4G pitch rubbish which gives you skin injuries.

    Also a word of advice the upper seats known as nosebleed seats are the worst.

    Not really a chant culture in rugby union but a lot of singing of songs: Hymns and Arias, Oh Deliah (Wales), Low sweet chariot (England), Fields of Athenry (Ireland), Stand up and fight (Munster), Zombie (Munster), There is an isle (Shannon rfc).

    My father knows someone who was an out half in rugby union who became a punter in American football in the states.

    Chipper food is the best bet over stadium food.

    As for the chop you couldn’t pay me a million quid to do that appalling gesture.

  14. Constantly complaining about the rain, like a true Irishman. I feel bad when people come here to visit and don’t get the shitty rainy weather, it’s the real Irish experience, who doesn’t love possible hypothermia after a night out?

  15. The food is actually amazing in Ireland, however "takeaway food" is not classed as "food" = it's rubbish especially in places like a football match, aeroplane, train, try most restaurants or popular bars etc have great food that will blow your mind, not that rubbish that you bought in the Arena. Cheers guys, good upload

  16. I was coming home from a trip to Florida in the build-up to this game. When I got on the plane, pretty much the only other Irish people there were the flight attendants. Strange, I thought. When I got off the plane, the whole airport was adorned in red, white and gold balloons, and I had noticed loads of people were wearing Florida State hoodies, and that's when I realised it was something to do with college football. Couldn't stay, unfortunately, as I live up north and had to get home.

  17. 7:34 Fun fact: The players of the 2 the biggest sports in Ireland (football and hurling) are volunteers and don't get paid, they do it for the love of the game and for the pride of their county
