Thanks Reff. Where'd ya park ?
Hondo, just drive around near the stadium. Lots of nice folks let people use their yards and don't charge too much. Really close to everything and that way you can get out a little easier to go to dinner. We found a couple real nice family run Italian places for both Friday night after the pep rally and Saturday night after the game that hit the spot and didn't cost an arm & a leg. We were staying in Valpo, which was a little cheaper vs right in South Bend, but what was confusing was one was Central & the other Eastern and only 60 miles apart.
Not me, don't care nothing about going to a glorified dump of a stadium to see us get our ass kicked.
Been there , done that. Once was enough. South Bend is a village in the middle of thousands of miles of corn. Stay in Chicago.
I am no great lover of Notre Dame, but their stadium is not a dump. It is a first class facility, and they really do it right there.

It just looks very plain to me. I mean I know there's tons of tradition there, but as far as the stadium itself what's so special?
Well, seems like the stands are close to the field and the pitch lends to good viewing. AIR, this place was patterned after Michigan's Big House - they look nearly identical. I believe remodeling/additions to NDS are underway and believe new video boards/FieldTurf have been added since that photo date. Recall Kelly telling Grobe/media post-game how impressed he was with Deacon Tower and the Video Board after the visit to BB&T. Dang we came close that memorable night....two stinking red-zone turnovers in the 4th Q were killers.:tear:
BTW, our/Wake tix are in that upper/brownish section in the sunlight in that photo.
As always....GO DEACS !
im in section 114
Yep, much like the Orange Bowl the TO's killed us. I'm sure I would think it was a great experience and all, maybe I'll go sometime when hopefully we're fielding a really competitive team. Knowing we really have no shot would kill the experience for me.

I went with a small crowd last time for the first time. I was unimpressed with the town of South Bend. We stayed there the first night; then got rooms in Chicago for the second night.
