NFL regular season fixture at Croke Park close to confirmation

Well-placed sources are encouraged that what they believe will be the biggest sports event ever to happen in Ireland is within reach.

The first-ever NFL regular season game in Ireland is close to being confirmed for Croke Park next September.

As reported by the Irish Examiner last month, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be one of the competing teams in GAA HQ pending a final decision by the new Irish government.
