They did that for USC in 2011. Nobody used them.

I think the reason ND doesn't try some version of a green-out is because the home stadium crowd lacks interest in such things.

EDIT: You can see a few of them in the crowd. The woman in the white coat near GA III's helmet is holding one against her chest.

the ND stadium fanbase is not unified for a variety of reasons. trying to force them to be unified (at least cosmetically) wouldn't work. still plenty of folks who go along to "hate watch"

ND could just start a general rule of green vs USC. But they want all the merch sales so trying to indentify one single color for fans to wear goes against that.

I'm in. I'll be there and will be sporting the "green look" (green visor too). Go Irish!!!

*for certain values of "nobody"

iirc those were a dark blue towel? probably not the best for standign out against the variety of dark jackets/sweatshirts. White, Gold, Green would most likely be the colors you'd have to use to get a real distinct visual effect.

Can't we just light the stands with green lights to make it look somewhat like what you want?

True.

I remember wondering if we should wave them or what. And then literally zero people in our section waved them.

We ended up using them as a buffer from the cold bench seats so maybe they need to hand them out when it's warmer, too.

Probably a great game for all the fans who attend to dress up like the Leprechaun.

Per Kelly, Martini injured his knee in practice and is day to day.

Odds on us coming out in green unis?

One of the ND social media accounts was priming the 2005 green unis a couple of days ago, alarm bells started ringing in my brain.

Slim to none and slim just left on the last horse in town. There's always talk of green uni's for USC, but it's just talk from the fans and some media asking the question to raise interest. Given the team has worn shamrock series unis for a number of games, I think the uniqueness of the green jerseys from the first time they've been worn is gone.

Not that I'm against them, just don't see it happening.

This is the biggest Notre Dame - USC game in a decade and the biggest at Notre Dame Stadium since Bush Push.

Single ticket available at face value. I won't get it until Thursday so I'd have to meet you on campus Friday / Saturday to exchange.

You can get a lower level ticket (Section 20) for $140.00 on Stubhub.

Pretty sweet deal for a rivalry/night game/Top 15 matchup IMO

I'll be at Potato Creek State Park if anyone wants to hang out (or murder me in my sleep).
