An idea from the aerial view of the football field at Fenway Park.

Maybe you could explain to the average ND fan what the 9 diagonal lines in each end zone bulls@#% means to the folks watching on TV.

Per ND:
The football field itself will include the traditional diagonal striping in both end zones. There will be 18 lines (nine in each end zone), and they will be oriented at 42-degree angles toward the Basilica and the Golden Dome. The numbers 18 and 42 represent 1842, the year the University was founded.

To me, it would be like asking Tennessee to get rid of the checkerboard and replace it with the words "TENNESSEE" and "VOLUNTEERS". It's just unnecessary. The lines are simple, cool (because no one does it but ND and people who want to look like ND), and have meaning even.

As Beau points out the lines have meaning, to the UNIVERSITY, not the bulls@#% average fan watching on TV.

I think most people would like Spacemen better than leprechauns too.

Come to think of it, Platinum instead of gold.

The fight song could use a dance hall remix.

Instead of the diagonal lines in the end zones at ND Stadium, why not insert Notre Dame on one end and Fighting Irish on the other like they have at Fenway Park for the Shamrock Series game? Hopefully it will be done as part of the completed Crossroads project. Thoughts?

I'm not AGAINST the idea, perse'; but can you explain why ND should break with this tradition and make a switch?

How about a #14 in one endzone throwing a pass designated by an outlined football on a dashed arcing line to #7 in the other endzone?

then place at midfield

14+7=21
It's a natural!​


They'd sell out the concession stand. AND, could make a bundle getting getting Tesla to sponser the moving football on the dashed line. "Powered by Tesla", an electric idea.

Its different, cause the checkered endzone looks f*cking prime. The ND stripes just look so plain and boring. I get tradition and all but sometime change is good.
