It's all personal preference on parking, and if you sift back through earlier pages on this thread there are lots of questions/answers on parking, but here is what's on their website:
Burke Golf Course Parking
Weather permitting, Game Day parking will be available on the Burke Memorial Golf Course. The entrance fee is $40 per vehicle, cash only. Football game tickets must be shown for entrance to the parking areas on the course. Tailgating is invited but Burke parking is limited to passenger cars. Recreational vehicles, large trucks, buses, motorcycles, and limos are not permitted.
In order to keep the integrity of the course in tact, Burke parking will not be available in the event of inclement weather.

Other Parking Information
Additional Lots
If you have a hang tag, the information on the back will help you locate your designated lot. Guests without hang tags may park in White Field, Burke Golf Course Parking on the Notre Dame Golf Course or at the Robinson Community Learning Center which also offers parking at their facility 921 N. Eddy Street.
The parking field near Innovation Park is now restricted.
The area south of Angela (formerly Edison Road) and north of South Bend Avenue has been converted into a lot for reserved passes and bus parking only. As always, follow hang tag instructions.
Bus Parking
Maybe I can find some more for a decent price though.
