The American Colleges Football season opener between Notre Dame and Navy has been moved from the Aviva Stadium in DublinThe organisers of the Aer Lingus Classic football game between Notre Dame and Navy have today announced that the game will not take place at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on August 29, at an estimated cost to the Irish economy of €80million. ESPN’s College GameDay pre-show was also due to be broadcasted live from College Green in Dublin. "Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, that is now not possible, but we hope to see both universities return to Aviva Stadium in the coming years. I am expecting that we will still be able to play Notre Dame as our season opener, but there is still much to be determined by health officials and those that govern college football at large. The series will now commence on August 28, 2021 when the University of Illinois will play the University of Nebraska at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin for the 2021 season opener.
