They needed a bigger stadium

[Kruse]

I was looking at going over to it - saw there's a train directly to Chicago - some sort of scenic route... looks promising...
47 fucking hours.

That really does seem like "a sign" - doesn't it?

[nostrildamus]

Nothing screams "Rugby" like "North Dakota"

im assuming the crowd will be pro Ireland , Irish sports fans like to travel

[Bovidae]

Yes, there is also a large expat Irish community in the US. The capacity is 61500. It's all about the $$$.

I had to bow out for the AB vs Ireland game
Just too expensive now. Good seats are $500 each, then I have airfare and hotel. And I really don't like Chicago.
I can do a week all inclusive in Mexico for less.

Oh just checked again, nosebleed for $300
Good seats 1 - 2k + now

Yes USD

[Tim]

@Darren Okay, they are really extracting value. Yikes.

Absolutely ridiculous. No Rugby Game will ever be worth that

[Darren]

It's because they are all resale seats now, so can charge whatever they want. It sold out before I could get it. Scalpers and bots I guess.
