I guess the game is indoors, so whatever, but first Thanksgiving weekend game in a non-warm-weather environment since forever ago. Weird times.

I think I blacked out most of that miserable season. But it looks like we closed it out getting our butts kicked at Syracuse on December 6, which is even weirder. Thanksgiving weekend that year was @Stanford.

I think was the 70s the last time we played a game on Thanksgiving weekend that wasn’t in California, @Miami, or Hawaii.

section 208, row f. not the best seats but with 2 little ones (one being 2 and kind of sensitive to sound) it made sense). Honestly, gift from my mother for the family. So I do not know the cost

The slate is pretty garbage to be honest. Game is an ACC/ESPN game and they only get 3 possible dates to get ND on their family of networks (North Carolina for sure, BYU could be Fox or ESPN/ABC). If Syracuse has anything remotely close to a pulse, they could prime time it and pump up the upset alert on an undefeated Notre Dame (or possible CFP knockout if they have a loss). This has all the makings of a 7:30 ET ESPN game, akin to ending last year late @ Stanford on ESPN because it is their one opportunity to put them on there.

Cuse rarely gets Saturday night games. I think it may be at 12, because ESPN will have the iron bowl at 3;30. Could depend on how each team fares during the season too

Ohio St/Michigan at noon, I sincerely doubt they put the other midwest power up against that game. They will get eyes from the entire country hoping ND will stumble at night. Now if Syracuse has 3 wins, it could very well end up being a nooner

All fair points. But cuse just doesnt play home games at night on Saturdays. Especially during the winter!
