General team info

[NDdomer2]

has anyone seen how they are "tiering" the games this year. UNC USC as tier ones are obvious but wasnt sure what they are considering tier 2/3

Anyone willing to disclose rates (including donation) for season tickets in upper bowl endzone? Don't really want to give contact info to ND if it's out of my price range.

2 upper bowl tix in south endzone are $425 each + $750 each for "Football Annual Membership". So, $2,350 for 2 upper bowl season tix. Selling any tix is a losing proposition overall, and attending all home games impossible since I live in Texas.

Also have access to some 50 yarders, but price only goes up.

Heard from a parent that ND will serve beer at games this year. Any of our plugged in guys hear the same thing?

Everything Brian Kelly Said to the Media on Monday, June 7 (247sports.com)

Looking forward to see Lacey back at full strength. Loved him as a Freshman and bummed he was hurt all/most of last season.

Love the shade thrown at FSU when he was asked about Madden’s recruitment, “it’s not about a fancy car show”. Lol

It would make sense based on their partnership with Guinness.

It seemed like they were going to use Guinness and Joe Montana to market some in-stadium beverages... but they picked the COVID year to try it, and obviously that put a stop to all the fun stuff.

Not sure what to make of his comment about transcripts for non-grad transfers. If I didn't know better it would seem he thinks he can make the transfer process less difficult.

How about some love for WOPU Nation's Marcus Thorne! (Far left)

Better be nice to him... Gonna need him to recruit his sister for Coach Ivey. She can hoop.

Sounds like a neutral-site game is in the works...

Which isn't going to stop the BYU fans from griping about ND not making the trip to their place lol

There is almost no advantage to going to Utah to play a game. Not a talent hotbed, more mileage on the team and we're already on the west coast 2x/year minimum. What do they want from us?

They want the 'home' games from a cancelled series with Notre Dame back lol.

ND signed a 6-game deal with them in the early 2010's, where ND would host BYU four times, and BYU would host ND twice. ND played two home games against BYU, and then cancelled the series when they entered the ACC scheduling deal, leaving BYU hanging and not getting either of the home games they were under contract to host.

BYU fans have been bitter ever since, and I'm sure the BYU athletic dept. was pretty salty on missing out on two sellouts.

Tough shit for them. ND would've honored the commitment if they weren't forced into an alliance with the ACC. What is compelling about a BYU series? Nothing. I hope these talks stall and go nowhere, I just have very little interest in the game.

Taking travel out of the equation, the smart thing to do would be to play the games in Honolulu and Phoenix. Two cities with enough talent for ND to recruit and the two biggest LDS populations outside of UT. Win win for both. ND could even make one a Shamrock Game as the visitor now that they're doing it with Wiscy in Chicago.

Of course a game in Vegas would be cool too. I'd love to go to the new stadium.

Lastly, how about St. Louis? Nice regional game in StL for ND and BYU could package it as their Shamrock Game. The Return To Nauvoo!

Nowhere to play it. I doubt the Cardinals would be inclined to have a Notre Dame game at Busch and Edward Jones is a shithole

 

[calvegas04]

I think a game in Vegas would be cool, would be great exposure. Lots of talent coming out of Vegas now too

If it's good enough for Garth & the Battlehawks, it's good enough for a one off game.

I used to drive down for the Supercross stop every year back in the 90's and then head over to East StL for some fine dining and poppin' nightlife. Mostly 9mm but plenty of .38 and .357 too.

Lol idk how Garth ended up there a few years back. I guess the “America’s Center” has had some touch up. Busch very much does love concerts so must have been a conflict. I just don’t know if ND would have some sort of baseline standard for where the games are, what is the worst arena/stadium we’ve had a Shamrock game in? Alamodome? They’d probably be tempted to just venture East to Lucas Oil again.

C'mon, we weren't "forced" into the ACC contract. We chose that path. The honorable thing to do would be to play a game at BYU. I'd personally enjoy playing them on occasion. I respect their decision to go independent. Would be a fun little "rivalry".
