Croke Park to host American football in 2012

Although rugby might not be on the agenda at Croke Park in the short term, American collegiate football has already set a date at GAA headquarters for 2012.

It has been confirmed that Navy are to play Notre Dame at the Dublin 3 stadium on September 1, 2012, in what is the longest running college football rivalry in history. It will be a "home" game for the Maryland-based Navy.
