He was on the radio this evening on 105.7 The Fan and he was discussing the Notre Dame program.
He said that we should respect tradition but not live in the past, claimed that the program is living in the past for not upgrading on the level of other schools. Mentioned that we need to build a state-of-the-art stadium, and use money to build the best football facilities in college football. He went on to mention that when bringing kids on their recruiting visit in the middle of December to South Bend in Northwest Indiana, they need to come away amazed by our present, not our past.
He also made a point to say what others have also said on here, in terms of recruiting, Notre Dame sells itself to recruits but we have to realize that the kids of today do not fully understand why Notre Dame is unique. That comment was then tied in with Bobby Bowden's retirement saying how kids nowadays dont care what Bowden did in the 80's or 90's, they would rather play for the new Bobby Bowden aka Urban Meyer.
The host asked him about who should be the next Head Coach at Notre Dame, and he jokingly said his dad.
He said it was unfortunate what happened to Charlie but after losing to Navy, Syracuse, and Pitt he knew it was coming. He also said Charlie will be a good coach somewhere else.
Tom is one of my 5 favorite players at ND past or present.

Anyway, LOS seats 63,000 for football, and though not state of the art, Notre Dame Stadium capacity is 80,795. A jumbotron for replays would be ok, but as far as capacity, it is the largest stadium in the state already, by far.
