The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t being bashful about their desire to play in Ireland. Though it’s not confirmed to be the team’s next international spot, the Rooney family is making the full court press to convince commissioner Roger Goodell.
Appearing on the Pat McAfee Show Wednesday afternoon, Goodell was asked about the possibility of Pittsburgh playing in Ireland soon.
“I hear from the Rooneys every other day about going back to Ireland to play,” he said. “So yes, Ireland is definitely on the watch list. Let’s put it that way.”
An Irish family with deep roots to the country, Dan Rooney served as US Ambassador to Ireland during the Obama Administration, visiting every single county in the country.
