What was meant to be a marquee football home opener in Fort Worth has become an overseas showcase, and many TCU students are feeling left behind.

In an announcement met with both excitement and frustration, the TCU football program confirmed that its 2026 season opener against the University of North Carolina will take place in Dublin, Ireland, as part of the Aer Lingus College Football Classic.

“This game is a huge opportunity for the Big 12, TCU Football and our entire university to showcase our elite student-athletes and spirited fans on the global stage,” TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr. said.

While it marks a historic opportunity for the program to gain international exposure, the move also means that some TCU fans will miss out on a high-profile home game.

Which would be preferable

A late August home game that starts at 11am or
A late August game that you can watch from the air conditioning of home that also starts at a 11am
The lesser of two suckages….

A home game vs a game in Ireland, 100% of the time. You can watch home games in your air conditioned living room too if you want.

You spend hundreds of million of dollars on stadium upgrades in relatively recent years and then play a scheduled home game on another continent, when you only get 6-8 games per year. I just can't make sense of it. Our stadium is meant to host our home football games. Moving a home game to JerryWorld is bad enough....moving one to Ireland? What??

Again, I don't think it's a huge deal but I wish they'd just come out and say "we want/need more money, and in our opinion this move makes us more money" or something along those lines instead of spewing all that other crap.
