We were thrilled to be nominated in both the ‘Best International Event’ and ‘Best Event Experience’ categories for our 2016 Aer Lingus College Football Classic Event! We WON ‘Best Event Experience’!
The game between Boston College and Georgia Tech drew a crowd of over 40,000 to the Aviva Stadium, Dublin, almost half of whom had travelled from the US, delivering a major boost to sports tourism in Dublin City and Ireland.
