Ireland game being moved to vegas?

[Farms]

I wonder how many tickets they’ve sold this far. If ticket sales have been a complete bust I suppose they might reconsider.

[Saunders]

FWIW, this game is on my birthday, and I hope it's being moved to Vegas. The Ireland trip is crazy expensive, and until travel restrictions get better, just does not seem appealing.

 

That being said, it is just a rumor, and seems to be nothing more.

I hope its in Ireland.  It will create more fans of either team.  I believe the Buccaneers have a pretty big following in England from being one of the first NFL teams to play there.  Spread the brand

Keeping the Ireland location also favors us.

If I recall correctly, the Huskers go in early, get the sightseeing out of the way and settled in well acclimated to prepare for the game. Northwestern goes in virtually a day or two before the game and does their educational and scenic bits after the game. The travel and time change applications would be a huge benefit to us....

With an Irish quarterback like Casey Thompson, Dublin can only be lucky for the Husks.

Is that why they call him "Red?"

Ireland just lifted a bunch of COVID restrictions.

I bet we’d get a better kick time for TV if it was in Vegas. Ireland is 7 hours ahead of Mountain time (+6 hrs Central). If we get our typical 10AM B1G start time, that’s 3AM MDT. Even if it’s a night game were tuning in at noonish.
 

Just sayin, playing in Ireland isn’t all leprechauns and pots o gold.

I know you are joking, but I am pretty sure the game would be played at night in Ireland so it's shown in the afternoon in the US.

Yes I was joking…..sort of.

Also, when have we ever kicked off at 10a?

We kick at 10am MDT/MST all the time.

Heck, believe it or not, we even kick off at 9am Pacific time quite often.

I just have to say one thing...make it happen.  I haven't even been in the new stadium yet and this probably would be the only time I would go.  Btw I am not biased at all if they move it to Vegas
