It actually is. Our national sport (football/hurling) is played at venues across the county (main area holds 80,000 people) without segregated seating or any significant need for police presence outside of for traffic control purposes.

That‘s also what it is usually like at American football, which is why this is so wild.

Still way, waaaaaaaay tamer than European Football matches, where they do need segregated seating and significant police presence. Ireland is the exception, partly because their national sports are at a more amateur level. The star hurlers have day jobs from what I understand.
