Mahon\u2019s Public House &amp; Brewery in central Dublin as a home base for their fans this weekend. As they planned the details, Vikings Director\/International Marketing Keisha Wyatt explains, they realized the bar was double-booked: A couple from San Francisco, Pink Lee and Joseph Callahan, had already reserved the pub as a wedding venue. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-franchises \">Big problem, right? Not at all. It turns out Callahan is a diehard Vikings fan and was more than happy to bolt the wedding onto the American football fun. In fact, retired Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph and some of the Vikings business staff were on hand for the exchange of vows. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph sections-franchises \">Other team activities in Dublin include:<\/p>\n<p>Steelers: As the only game participant that also has commercial rights in Ireland, the Steelers are allowed to go bigger than other teams.

Packers: The Packers will host a \u201cPackers Huddle\u201d fan party Saturday at Sinnott\u2019s Bar in Dublin. Former Packers RB Ryan Grant will appear, and it will serve Wisconsin foods to replicate a \u201ctraditional Packers tailgate.\u201dChiefs: \u201cChiefs House Dublin\u201d will take over Murray\u2019s Bar &amp; Grill on O\u2019Connell Street in central Dublin, featuring music, former Chiefs player appearances, panel talks, and a watch party for the Chiefs-Ravens game Sunday.
