Irish eyes were smiling on the Steelers when they played in the first ever NFL regular season game in Ireland, defeating the Minnesota Vikings, 24-21, in front of 74,512 fans at Dublin's historic Croke Park.
The organization was active across the island throughout the week:
The Terrible Towel Tour
Former Steelers lineman and Steelers Audio Network Color Analyst Max Starks traveled around the island of Ireland delivering Terrible Towels, in partnership with Aer Lingus. Starting in Dublin, Starks made stops across the south, west and north, visiting some well-known sites, as well as some not-so-well known, culminating the four-day journey in Belfast. The trip was documented on the Steelers Irish social media channels and stops included: Limerick, Kilkenny, the Cliffs of Moher and Derry!
