Tickets are available from €150 to €495 for prime seats. Enhanced security enforces the NFL Clear Bag Policy, with metal detectors in operation. Fans access drinks in seats and stadium-wide food, a break from the more heavily regulated GAA custom. Myles Smith performs at halftime; merchandise stands open to ticket holders.

Henry Hodgson shared: “This will be one of the largest international sporting events to take place in the country, with an extensive tourism boost expected.”
