Irish NFL fan in America Trip 4 Preview.

Start spreading the news. I’m leaving tomorrow.

My last trip of 2018 is upon me and it’s just as well as I can’t afford any more! 

I’m not sure if doing four Stateside jaunts a year was a good idea. Mainly as the season is so short. Just 17 weeks. But I am happy I’ve seen 8 NFL teams play this year. Probably not too many have done that this season. Certainly not in Ireland! 

And to be fair I have enjoyed each and every one of them. I’d say the Buffalo Bills game was probably my highlight of the entire year. 

So it certainly has all been worth it.

Also I must admit, I kind of can’t wait for next year either. I keep changing my mind which teams I’d like to see in year two. My mind is naturally drawn to the teams I can get direct flights to and so it should be as all of that can change too.

I would however like to go to some of the more far-flung places next season. Kansas City anyone? It would also be nice to go see the Super Bowl winners play the curtain-opener again next year.

No. No of course there’s no link there.

But that’s next year and I’ve still yet to finish this year. New York awaits along with two teams that have failed to wake up the city this year. Eli Manning is surely nearing retirement and it will certainly be nice to see him play at home before he does. A real life Manning. Mind you I did see him play a few weeks ago against the 49ers (and he was in imperious form too that night). I’ve also seen the Jets but hey now it’s all about seeing them play at home, not on the road. 

It’s actually quite hard to believe I will be in the States again tomorrow but there you go. Sure I’m practically a local now. 

Expect a trip report and vlog sometime late next week. The final trip of 2018 is upon me.
