In what seems like such a long off-season at times for international fans, this one is truly breezing by.<\/p>\n
It’s fair to say that fans across the island are excited for the matchup this September.<\/p>\n
Steelers International Fan Of The Year Tom McCormack has had an eventful few weeks – he made the sixth round selection of Will Howard on stage in Green Bay a mere fortnight ago.<\/p>\n
Now, his mind shifts towards Minnesota.<\/p>\n
“To put it mildly, it’s a dream come true”, McCormack said.<\/p>\n
“The thought of the Steelers running out in a modern, top of the range Croke Park stadium with terrible towels and listening to Renegade gives me goosebumps.<\/p>\n
I’m really excited about the challenge that Minnesota will bring. They’ve had a real growth in 2024 and it will be exciting to see our Steelers take to the field against the Vikings.”<\/p>\n
Down in Tipperary, Stephen Earley is overjoyed with the confirmation of the game.<\/p>\n
“It’s a day to remember for sure”, he said.<\/p>\n
“The Steelers and Ireland are such a great fit. I don’t think there is any other professional sports team that is as dedicated to the Irish market, with the events that they host and the players they send to the island – Croke Park will be bouncing!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In what seems like such a long off-season at times for international fans, this one is truly breezing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190695,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2073],"tags":[7,16115,16117,16116,233,259,2529,6,914,234],"class_list":{"0":"post-190694","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-vikings","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-ireland-2025-dublin-game-news","10":"tag-ireland-all-content","11":"tag-ireland-news","12":"tag-minnesota","13":"tag-minnesota-vikings","14":"tag-minnesotavikings","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-non-sponsored","17":"tag-vikings"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114817208475285186","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
