Dublin might host an NFL game in 2025, marking the city's first in nearly 30 years, according to Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II. Rooney shared the possibility while speaking with the Steelers broadcast team in the commentary booth at Acrisure Stadium during the franchise' first preseason game on Friday night. 'I think there's a good chance in the 2025 season that we'll have an international game. Of course that's up to the league, not up to us.
The game in 1997 is still remembered fondly in Pittsburgh, with Rooney saying: 'We played a preseason game in Ireland back in the 1990s and it was a lot of fun and well received. The Steelers last played an international game in 2013, losing 34-27 to the Minnesota Vikings at Wembley Stadium. For Rooney, a return to Ireland would be significant for the team: 'We have a lot of Steelers fans in Ireland and it would be fun to get over there again.
