K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED)

[NWICY]

If other schools started jumping off cliffs would we do that?

This is a horrible idea. I laugh at college basketball PA people who have to yell into the mic to get fans excited.

LOL Texas has one of those hype men DJ deals, it was ok I guess. I didn't really love it I'd rather let the place make its own atmosphere.

So uh how much would a week in Ireland cost

 

[JP4CY]

Yeah, I was tired and dealing with a wildly out of control 8 year old. I'm sorry.

I'm not 8!

Just a guess, but I'd start by taking what you pay for season football tickets and donations. Double that. Then double it again.

 

[Tailg8er]

LOL, Yeah I have, and she would say to go, But to Europe. I just couldnt. Whether she said to go or not. I would feel pretty bad, not going together.

Yeah I completely understand that, too. I might consider this Ireland trip without mine, but only because she gets to go to Italy with our oldest this summer.

Most likely I'll tally up the cost of everything & decide on a family vacay somewhere the kids would enjoy instead.

Has Iowa State ever played a game on foreign soil? A quick glance through the record books is showing me no evidence of a similar trip, official or not.

Not since Missouri left the Big XII.

A couple thousand probably.

 

[nrg4isu]

A couple thousand probably.

Per person. Flight alone will be ~$1,000

Maybe there will be some Cyclone charters out of DSM. Make DSM into a TRUE International Airport

You can get some relatively "cheap" flights to Dublin from Boston and NYC I think. You have to get to the east coast first. But flying across the ocean to Ireland isn't much more than flying from Des Moines to the east coast. But I'm on the east coast already so that helps. And hotels look comparable to Des Moines if not cheaper. The dollar is still beating the euro right now I think so that might be helping.

Honestly probably not much different than a bowl game.

Did Aer Lingus ever go through with that standing seats concept to double the number of seats? Lol.

Nevermind it looks even cheaper from Chicago. I'm seeing round trip tickets for one under $600.

We flew non stop from Chicago eight years ago. 3-4 days in Dublin is plenty but why not see the rest of the country? And BTW, Guinness is indeed the best when it’s fresh!

Curious to see how many more threads you are going to post this exact statement in

Over under at 50?

Give me the over

Went to Dublin this last fall and really enjoyed it. But yes, Guiness from their factory is as good as they say

You are obviously not married.

Send her to Hawaii or shopping binge in NYC.
