A view of Croke Park during the 2025 NFL International Game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings at Croke Park in Dublin. PICTURE: Seb Daly/SportsfileTHE stage was set up to be one of the biggest days of the NFL calendar, and it did not disappoint, with both teams and the fans giving everyone a first NFL fixture in Ireland to remember. “When they were playing Zombie and watching everybody get so into it, that was really fun,” said Heyward. “I would always love to go and get to know the area a bit more, especially Ireland; the history, the ancestors I have here. Regardless of the environment, the city was encapsulated by the event, and it will most certainly be back again in the near future, and the Irish fans of this sport will be all the more grateful for it.
