Probably a little late, but some student group at ND get sponsors (I'm sure local business' would jump at the chance to have their logo on a t-shirt) and get green tshirts made for the SC game. Hand them out at the gate. And we have a green out.
In the spring of 2002 a recent ND grad, ND'01, who had been an administrator of the old Irish Recruiting Journal, the granddaddy of ND internet boards, proposed that ND fans wear navy blue to the home opener. "If Nebraska can turn our stadium a predominant color, he reasoned, we should be able to to it ourselves."
People grimaced "navy blue is too dark. It has to be a vibrant color." Some Fausties's argued that ND's real color is madonna blue. ND'01 switched to gold. More complaints, "gold looks like urine". "We open at home against Purdue, you can't wear gold." It's can't compete with "The Shirt." yada, yada, yada.
I sent him an email suggesting green instead of navy or gold explaining the enhanced visibility and the Irish connection through Rockne, Leahy, and Devine. I further suggested he write a letter to the Observer, contact the ND Club Presidents in every state, the Alumni magazine, the ND coaching staff, and the athletic department. A game would have to be picked and the ticket holders notified. That's the procedure the Huskers, Hogs, Horns, and others have used for decades when they "paint" their stadium.
He took it on with passion. Lo and behold The Shirt that year was green which eliminated an argument from The Shirt faction.
He persisted through the summer trying to set up a game where an ND fans would paint the stadium one color. That Fall ND opened 8-0, "The Shirts" slogan "Return To Glory" was coming true. I was part of the 5000 strong green clad Irish fans that marched into Doak Campbell Stadium chanting "HEAR COME THE IRISH!" silencing 80,000 Nole fans.
In his weekly presser after that game, ND's new coach Willingham announced that he wanted everybody to wear green to the BC game. He pull out green jerseys in his words to "honor the fans who had honored the team". It was a moment. Unfortunately with his drab personality "The Molder of Men" didn't grasp the true motivational aspect of the moment. To Tyrone it was payback for the fans. Not for inspiration.
But an Irishman in the other lockerroom did. Boston College's head coach Tom O'Brien sidestepped Willingham "honoring" the fans with the green jerseys and told his players Willingham broke them out in desperation as ND "only wore green jerseys for significant opponents. That wasn't true as ND teams in the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's up to Parshegian frequently wore green jerseys. O'Brien painted ND as fearing BC and challenged his players in the lockerroom with "who here got an offer from Notre Dame?" The Eagles can out loaded for bear. The Irish had green jerseys and a green clad fans but still has the smoke and mirrors head coach whose QB went down and put in a walkon with the game changing throwaway INT TD.
It wasn't the color of the ND jerseys or the that the fans were wearing, it was the coaches - for each team that made the difference in that game.
But if you want to see ND wear one color in the stadium, it will take a concerted and coordinated effort to make it happen. It can be done.
