We had friends the signed on with other groups and they all paid several thousand more and didn't have the experience that we had. From travel, food, beer , game experience and having Jordy Nelson as our host it was unbelievable!! Thank you Sports Fans Travel and Josh!!" - Jim Z. [Wildcats Take Dubln '25]
