July 27th, 1997: The day the Steelers played in Dublin, Ireland

On this day twenty seven years ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers played the Chicago Bears in the American Bowl series at Croke Park Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. The game was a homecoming for the Steelers and the Rooney family and to this very day, it is the only American Football game that has taken place in Croke Park. Michael and Jimmy talk about the significance of the game in 1997, how it has impacted their football journey and hopes for the future. In this special podcast to celebrate the game, they are joined by former Steelers TE Mark Bruener who played in Croke Park in 1997. Mark is now a scout for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Michael then welcomes Tom McCormack, a huge Steelers fan from Dublin who has been a fan for a generation. We would love to hear from you.
