NFL Game in Ireland?

Quote from: Pro Football Talk
From the Irish Echo comes word that the Steelers could be heading to Ireland to play a regular-season game next season.

A spokesperson from Ireland’s  Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport, told the Echo that discussions have been held “at the official level” regarding the possibility of a game to be played at the Croke Park in Dublin, which has a capacity in excess of 80,000.

The Echo connects the obvious dots back to the Steelers, since chairman Dan Rooney is the current U.S. ambassador to Ireland.

I doubt I'd travel to Dublin to see the Steelers v. Cardinals.  Now, if the Cowboys were coming, that'd be different.  :)

What may be interesting to note is that Notre Dame is playing Navy in Dublin in 2012...
