What was especially unusual about the fan experience at the Aviva Stadium during the Big Ten college football game between the Northwestern Wildcats and the Nebraska Cornhuskers?
An 'unfortunate technical error' led to Mark McCabe's 'Maniac 2000' being aired as Ireland's national anthem.
Three quarters of the food and drink allocation at the stadium had to be given out for free after the card-payment system crashed.
Northwestern's cheerleaders were roundly booed for their 'modern interpretation' of Riverdance during the half-time show.
Throughout the game, travelling Nebraska fans sang 'Will Grigg's on fire' in a misplaced effort to ingratiate themselves with the majority of those in attendance.

    @Gavin Byrne: In comparison Dublin have a fan base of about 10 times what other counties have. So of course they will bring large numbers with them.

    Fair play today they really brought a fantastic atmosphere and plenty of money to Cavan town today
