Incredible Irish performance! However, stadium prices for food and beverages were scandalous!
Finally after 111 years the Ireland team wins!!! Great game fun times. GO IRELAND!!!!
Game was fantastic. All fans were good spirited and friendly. Great atmosphere.
Apart from the greatest display of Irish rugby and great atmosphere , seats were very poor and misleading location
That was one of the best Rugby Matches I've seen! The Irish, playing in front of their [almost] home crowd, they surprised the All Blacks in the first half and then came back when it mattered in the 2nd half, just before the Kiwis caught up to them! Crowd was electric!
We sat in front of 4 great guys from Dublin who had on Chicago Cubs hats for good luck. They had never beaten New Zealand All Blacks in 28 games since 1905! They won 40 to 29 in front of a record crowd for seeing a rugby match in the U. S. Forget pro football: this is THE sport to watch, with REAL men without pads and non-stop action. My wife and I have attended the 1982 Final Four in New Orleans, many NCAA regional basketball games, bowl games, pro football games and both college basketball and football games all over the country. Without a doubt, we agreed that this was the most incredible sports experience we've ever had. As a plus, the fans for both teams were so congenial and congratulatory to each other after the game. The atmosphere was electric, and we would go back in a heartbeat!!!
A historic win at an iconic location. Incredible atmosphere.
Had an awesome time at the game! Will definitely go again!
62,300 people were in attendance at Soldier Field making this the most attended rugby match in US history. I'm glad that my wife and I got to be a part of history. As a rugby player and coach, there was no other option than to be in attendance. The weather was great, the people of Chicago were welcoming, and the fans were amazing.
amazing atmosphere, great game. was able to be part of history 3 times!
The seats were affordable for the Section we were in. A corner section. Had an okay view.
Once inside the stadium, the game was amazing, such a great atmosphere and well worth going. However the stadium management let the event down massively by only opening a few gates and therefore causing huge queues on the way in. We missed the start of the game and there were a lot of unhappy people who paid a lot of money to travel from Ireland and New Zealand and ended up missing the start of the game (which is only 90min in total). Well worth going but very poor event management by the stadium, so go in early to avoid queues.
Have been to see Ireland before but this Epic game was history in the making!! From start to finish, Ireland was spot on!!
Except for the Cubs 2016 championship run, this is one of the most exciting, fun sporting events I've ever attended!
Was awesome to be there for Ireland beating New Zealand!
I went to my first rubgy match. I didn't quite understand all of the rules, but the people around me were most helpful We met 5 friends there, but by the end there were 30 people with us. Eating and drinking and enjoying each other company. ALl of us from different countries. I'm looking forward to next year. The fans were very respectful of each other
Ireland broke a 111-year streak by beating the All-Blacks. Wish we had more rugby matches like this in the USA. Hope to continue the tradition! Well done!
Epic match, getting into Soldier Field a ridiculous problem. There was only one gate open for everyone sitting in 300- and 400-level seats. The line came from two directions and getting through security was pathetically slow. Many hundreds of us missed the All Blacks' pre-game haka. This was a travesty. I got to my seat after both teams had already scored. Totally unacceptable. Open a few more gates, please.
What an incredible event. The Guinness area was spectacular with all the fun stuff to do and prizes to win. Rugby play was exceptional.
Good game - too bad the expensive seats did not let you see the ball in play.
