And that has many fans of both teams so stoked that they made their way across the Atlantic to the Irish capital.“This is the Steelers’ game, and the Vikings are just humbly invited to come get whooped,” Steelers fan Ryan Gray told NBC News earlier this week. Gray, who traveled from Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the game, added he was enjoying “not only Dublin but Ireland as a whole” and he was “very very thankful for that.” Vikings fans Cindy and Johnny File, who came from Minnesota with their friends Fred and Jerri Menth, were also soaking up the atmosphere, enjoying “the craic,” as it’s known in Ireland, and equally bullish about their team’s chances.
