re: Brian Kelly wants an LSU Football game in Ireland

What a waste
American football is not overly popular in Ireland, and going through the expense and effort of bringing a team there to play a game there that could be played here seems unnecessary. If you are going have a desirable matchup involving LSU just play it in the US where you can give greater access to fans. Attending a game overseas is not exactly an affordable trip for most. And to be honest, if I'm traveling to Ireland I probably don't want to spend 4-5 hours attending an event I can, and have, attended here in the US. I'd rather do other things in Ireland.
This is one of those ideas that sounds good in theory, but really isn't that great in reality.

I am going to disagree with you there. I went with my ex gf to Ireland when Nebraska played there a few years ago. They have packages available that will accommodate every budget. Plus the package includes hotel stay plus breakfast, transfer to and from the airport, tickets to the game, tickets to pep rally and pre game welcome party. Also guided tours and events. You can pay it monthly instead of all at once. We had plenty of time to do a lot of touring of Edinburgh and Dublin before the game. This is a fantastic trip for anyone who has the opportunity to go. I would much rather this type of trip and see a foreign country with plenty of history than going to say Las Vegas or Houston.

Terrible take. Would be great exposure for the LSU brand. And maybe most importantly, could/should/would really help with recruiting.

The Navy-ND sold out and was very well received.
