GAA rule change to take immediate effect after landslide Central Council vote
The Central Council of the GAA has voted overwhelmingly to make a rule alteration ahead of the All-Ireland preliminary football quarter-finals this weekend. While the new rules have been credited with producing a feast of football so far this season, one or two rules have come under fire after having the microscope of Championship football come down on them. The penalty for impeding a player who has taken a kick-out mark will be reduced from a 50-metre advancement to just a free from where the offence has taken place from this weekend on after a Central Council vote on the matter was completed. The punishment of a free in front of the posts if a hand was laid on the player claiming the mark as he landed had been deemed too severe, and the offence often unavoidable as players collided upon landing after contesting a kickout. It's believed there was just one vote against among the 40 strong Central Council, with the rule adjustment passing by 39-1.

Over half a million apply for NFL Croke Park tickets
OVER 600,000 people joined the online queue to secure tickets for the matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings. The Steelers and Vikings will face off at Dublin's Croke Park on Sunday, September 28, with kick-off at 2:30. Tickets officially went on sale at midday, but thousands had already begun forming online minutes after a virtual waiting room opened at 11 a.m. According to Ticketmaster, fans were assigned random positions in the queue once sales began. A message on the website acknowledged the surge in traffic: ' We are currently experiencing a high volume of traffic. Please sit tight.' An update posted in the afternoon acknowledged the wait, ' This is a popular sale, and there are still tickets available. Thank you for your patience.' The game is also drawing interest from fans in Germany and Britain, where the NFL has gained popularity in recent years. The Pittsburgh Steelers last visited Dublin when they played a pre-season game there against the Chicago Bears in 1997, only filling out about half the stadium seats. The Rooney family owns the Pittsburgh Steelers and are particularly proud of their Irish descent, with roots tracing back to County Down, before their family emigrated in the 1800s. Last week, the stadium confirmed ticket prices, which range from €80 to €300 depending on where you want to sit. While Croke Park's usual capacity is a little over 82,000, the venue will be limited to around 76,000 people for this event. See More: Croke Park, NFL, Rooney Family, Ticketmaster
