Pomp, pageantry and protests as the NFL descends on Dublin’s Croke Park and Steelers conquer the Vikings

More than 70,000 people descended on Dublin to see the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Minnesota Vikings in Croke Park on Sunday with pomp, pageantry and a protest following American football across the Atlantic.

Fans meant business as they made a beeline for GAA headquarters this afternoon, forming long lines into the grounds where GAA fans prefer to be carried along by the crowd.
