K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED) (2024)

Eh, not really.. These are the cheapest particular options for these August dates, and it's just over $700 per. Again, these are the cheapest ticket option which does not include a checked bag, is non-refundable/extra change fees if you need to change, and doesn't allow you to select a seat. Plus Denver is even more inconvenient for anyone near Central IA to get to.

I'm not saying everyone will pay $1,000 for a flight, but the majority will pay near that.

Yep really, avoid Monday to Monday. With United (status) I can get free bags and select seats for $650. If flying from smaller airports I'm sure it's a couple hundred more.

Ok, so sure - IF you have preferred status & only fly on specific days & only fly from a large airport, you can get there & back for less than a grand. The original comments asked how much would it cost - someone said flights would be a grand - that's true for the majority of people. Nobody said it's impossible to do for less than a grand - you guys are acting like it won't cost near that & that's not the case for most people.

FTR, flying out of/into Denver to Dublin on Sat/Sun/Tues/Weds/Thurs/Fri would cost the same or more than that Monday quote .

You can get a credit card and it cost nothing to get the status. It's also really not to hard to avoid flying on Monday you have like 6 other days to pick.

Look up the Ulster plantations, when the GB gov't sent over scots to farm in Ireland and displace the local population, I'd bet a lot that's where the "Scottish" came in.

Wikiwand - Plantation of Ulster

The Plantation of Ulster was the organised colonisation (plantation) of Ulster – a province of Ireland – by people from Great Britain during the reign of King James VI and I. Most of the settlers came from southern Scotland and northern England; their culture differed from that of the native...

If you see “Scots-Irish” show up in your ancestry this is where it came from.

Guinness is an incredibly easy drinking beer. Lots of people act like it's some kind of heavy beer and nothing could be further from the truth. It's basically a light beer, it's just got a lot of flavor punch because of the roasted barley.

Same percentage as light beers in Iowa. Both are 4.2%

We thought for generations that we were mostly Irish/German. Then we found out that a good portion of our Irish was actually Scottish that made a couple of generation layover in Ireland. Apparently this is more common than most people know. We had to go back about 600 years to find out. I just learned this in the last year. Kind of crazy.

When your family becomes so much of a problem, the King sends your butts to Ulster:
Border Reivers

Although technically, my surname comes from France with the Normans! Then to the borderlands, then kicked to Ulster, then fled to the USA.

If you can believe it, she’s from Sioux City.

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!

For sure. Dublin to Cork is 3.5 hours by car and you can explore the castles and countrysides of Kilkenny and Tipperary on the way.

Galway is just under 3 by car. I hear that pints and a music session at Dolan’s are worth the trip, plus the fun of the city and beauty of the coast.

Could always hop on a cheap Ryanair flight too

That's pretty convenient if cunniling*s has direct flights out of Minneapolis to Dublin

Do they still serve meals on those flights?

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.

Only if you count Kinnick

Blum all but confirmed on the Sunday pod that we will be getting the official word about Ireland this week. Message board rumors win again.

What podcast? And roughly what time?

I don't have time to listen to podcasts and would rather just read a transcript but I won't go on that soapbox again.

Didn't JP say something similar on the Murph & Andy show last week, too?
