Game day in Dublin!
Authored By:
After learning about the history of the stadium and the cultural significance of the sport, our global entrepreneurs enjoyed being able to cheer Dublin's "boys in blue" to a Gaelic football victory at Croke Park. There were over 60,000 fans in attendance, which really drove home the importance of traditional sports in the Irish market. The enthusiasm of the Irish fans was contagious, and many students commented on how they enjoyed the fast-paced nature of the sport. It was a great day to let loose and enjoy the unusually nice weather before returning to some intense work in the global entrepreneurship course on Monday. This week, stay tuned for more adventures around Dublin and an overnight trip to Ireland's west coast later in the week.
