The Pittsburgh Steelers created a new chapter in their history with a 24-21 win over the Minnesota Vikings at Dublin’s Croke Park. The matchup marked the first NFL regular-season game ever played in Ireland and drew 74,512 fans, the largest crowd ever to attend a Steelers “home” game. The event also ranked among the top attended NFL International Series games, with viewership hitting 7.9 million, the second highest ever on NFL Network for an international contest.
For supporters who traveled to Dublin or followed from abroad, the week leading up to the game was packed with cultural events, fan gatherings and unique celebrations that turned Ireland into a showcase for Steelers Nation.
