Having travelled from Ireland for this fixture, I must say Chicago put on the weather for us. They even won the world series for our arrival. The event itself was well hosted and historic in that Ireland defeated the AB's for the first time. Being there to witness that is truly amazing.
The traffic getting here was awful. Allow at least twice the time that you might think. We could have walked there more quickly! Unfortunately we missed the haka and the start of the game. Also unfortunately the All Blacks did not play their best. Kudos to the Irish for breaking their 111 year streak and taking the game!
The match was very exciting. Although The All Blacks let me down. After the Cubs broke their drought after 108 years, Ireland broke theirs by defeating The All Blacks after 111 years. Congratulations to them.
Watching Ireland beat New Zealand for the first time in 111 years, was for me as big as the Cubs' World Series victory. The crowd was amazing. It had the feel of a European venue.
Everything was great with the exception of getting into the Club area. It was not very well marked coming in from Grant Park, as to which way we needed to go. We walked around the West & South ends of the stadium before coming upon an overwhelmed gate manager to get in to the Club area. While in the Club area the line for the canned beer vendor moved unnecessarily slow. It took over 30 minutes at half time to get a can of beer.
Ireland beat the All Blacks for the first time. 111 years!!! What could be better than that excitement besides the Cubbies?!
Just awesome - can wait for next years tickets to go on sale
