Jason Kelce Explains Why NFL Dublin Blew London Out Of The Water

2
I've been to some of these international games. I've went and saw [Travis] play, I've been over to London.

This is the best one I've ever seen, I'm not going to lie. Dublin was f*****g into it, there was so many Pittsburgh fans there throughout the week. Minnesota Vikings too, I got to talk to everybody throughout the week...

We were playing in an iconic stadium in Croke Park that has been there for over 100 years. It seats like 80,000, it was pretty much full. It was loud, they were into it.

I've thought about it some more. The London games are great, but they almost feel like an All-Star game. This one felt like these guys were into it from a football perspective.

I think part of it is that London gets so may world events at Wembley Stadium, that's such a hub of the world that it's not that unique. How many world events or big time stuff like this is Dublin seeing?

It's still a huge city. It's a massive city that loves rugby, Gaelic football, athletics. It was fantastic.

The weather was beautiful, the game was great. Explaining American football to all these Irish guys that didn't know a f*****g thing about it was awesome...

It was just a really fun experience, the NFL knocked it out of the park. Croke Park and Ireland knocked it out of the park.

Shout out to the Irish national anthem singer. I don't even know if that's what you call it over there, but she f*****g brought the house down, it was tremendous.

It was just really cool.
