Players walk to the stadium

[irish4ever]

Anyone know what time the players walk to the stadium is slated for this Sat.? I'm assuming that the tradition will continue w/ this new coaching staff.

Game Day has it slated for 1:45-2:15.

As a side note, I was told by a current player that Kelly has the team walking through the student section (section 31 I believe) when they come out for warm ups. They'll still run out through the tunnel to start the game though. It's my understanding that Kelly wants to start a new tradition and get the students more involved.

How's that going to work?

The locker room is well above the field, is there a door that leads to the inside of the stadium and they'll walk out one of the tunnels in the stands and down to the field?

Jason, as our resident ND insider, can you confirm this?? PS cya at the game!!!

 

[Big23Head]

Is the players walk confirmed at the above time? I would like to catch it this weekend

I'm not 100% sure about the logistics, just passing on what I was told last Friday. Jason may not be able to confirm this since it's not common knowledge at this point. And I don't want to guarantee that it's going to happen, but this is what I was told.

Game Day // University of Notre Dame
Good site for pre and post game events.

Yeah, GameDay (both online and on campus) had the walk starting at 1:45. It was great to see fans on campus lined up at around 1:30 awaiting the tradition......only to hear that the players walked at 1:15 because, according to the policeman I talked to, "mass was 30 minutes".
Those of you guys looking for future games, consider getting ready at around the time that the mass starts?
Still a great weekend, but a lot of people around me were really bummed....oh well!

 

[GreatGolson]

ya everyone was really bummed when the cop came and told us the team had gone through, it must be that hurry up offense

Can't confirm inside the stadium, but a truckload of students left the band's performance at Bond hall around 2:15 and then headed towards the field; so I'd assume it happened...

I happened to arrive to the player walk in time, due to luck, and it just so happened Mr. Montana was about 10 feet away from me. (Fucking awesome). But my boy (3 y.o) got a five from the team and it made his whole weekend. Great tradition.

 

[Big23Head]

And yes the players walked through the student section

 

[vernfootball1]

It says the player walk is 145-215 but that is wrong i happened to be around the Basilica around 110 and that is when they came out of Mass. The players come out from the student section 230 sharp.

I love that they're walking through the student section on onto the field now. BK is such a smart guy, you cannot give him enough credit. Want to get the crowd pumped up and involved, that'll do it! Brilliant.
