100% they’ll be back.
The government are willing to invest, the buy in from the Irish public was massive and all the major yank journalists are writing flattering articles about how much fun they had and how lovely the people are.
Could do without the widely spread inaccuracies like rugby being our national pastime or Ireland having to hold a referendum to allow foreign games in Croke Park, but Brand Ireland came out very well this weekend.

I just don’t understand why? Apart from getting some tourists in, I’d say American Football is smaller here than Football is in the US

Right but it’s a bit nuanced than just it being over here. It was the only match on TV at the time so they had no competition. It was two strong teams on papers (yeah yeah VIkings QB injuries not with standing) and at least one of which is going to the playoffs. That said we now have a multi year reputation for hosting American Football at different levels that continues to show investment. People can be begrudging about this but year after year the Americans have flown over for American Football it’s a no brainer for any Government until it dries up.

Nobody does a bandwagon like the Irish!
