Trying to figure out the logistics. Thinking about catching a flight out of Atlanta, staying in Chicago, and taking the metro in. Any advice from anyone?

I assume you mean the South Shore?

You can do this because it's a night game (if you want to take it in on Saturday). The first train out of downtown is at 8:45am and it arrives shortly after 12 in South Bend. It would still give you much of the day to do stuff. Without a car you'll have to take a cab from the airport to campus. Usually it's $15, but it might be more that day. Idk.

You'll also need to catch one back to the airport after the game, assuming there are still trains running. That could be a pain.

Never done it though so it might be a lot more convenient then paying out the ass for a hotel room.

Three words: Bed. And. Breakfast.

I never ever ever stay at a hotel on a game weekend. I stay at a B&B in Elkhart for about $140 per night. Sure beats $500 for the Holiday Inn Express, and way better food in the morning.

In all seriousness, PM me if you want the name of a couple great places in the $140 range.

Section 8 row 47, I cant wait for the game. I knew I should of bought these tickets early in the year but I waited and bought them a couple weeks ago. very very expensive but worth every penny.

Considering our academic superiority, would this be revenge of the nerds?

Right you are.

I'm looking for one parking spot for all of that Saturday within a mile of the stadium.

If any of you young whippersnappers have or know anyone who has something available, PM me with price and location.

Thanks!

Get there early and park on Notre Dame Avenue south of campus. It's quite literally free.

I usually drop the $60 and park on the golf course. Excellent for tailgating if you can't get in the Joyce lot.

IrishLion makes a good point, if you're worried about tailgating. I always fly in and rent a car so I never have my own tailgating stuff. I spend most of my time on South Quad and the stadium lot anyways, so parking off campus is never a problem for me.

Where are you going after the game? If you need to get back on 80 West (towards Chicago), then I'd go golf course or Saint Mary's ($30 I think). If you're going east or staying in town, park south of campus and take the back roads over to Mishawaka.

 

[Booslum31]

I park at the liquor store next to the Linebacker Bar (pay the guy $30) and then walk over to the tailgates.

 

[GoldenDomer]

This is soooooo must win... Every kid on BlueGoldIllustrated videos say this is the official visit they are going on.

 

[ulukinatme]

I'm curious if ol' Hoke is going to spend part of August preparing for the Irish like he did last year...if he does, he may overlook Appalachian State. It would be interesting if lightning struck twice there.

LaFayette Square apartments doesn't require any kind of parking pass.

For anyone still looking for housing, I'd give craigslist a try.

I made a post yesterday asking for housing because I can't afford the going rate with the actual website rentals (I basically said this in the post).

Two people replied within 8 hours, one of which we're taking.

The best deal was two night's stay next to the Linebacker for $100 total. The three girls that live at the house will be staying there during the time, but beggars can't be choosers, lol.

All in all, my tickets and housing costs exactly $400 total. Would be a great deal if I didn't have to double it because of my younger brother. :banghead2

They probably look like men with my luck, but for the next month or so, one can dream.

What are the chances College Gameday is in South Bend for this game? Looking at week 2, ESPN will be considering this game, Oregon vs. MSU, and USC vs Stanford.

This being the last ND vs UM game could get College Gameday here. This is assuming both teams are 1-0 of course

I'm guessing they err on the side of USC vs. Stanford since they'd probably rather not drive traffic to FOX or NBC.

I actually think our game trumps USC/Stanford, but Oregon/MSU might be a top 10 matchup.

IrishPat will be in the house.

So depending on what side of the fence you're on, you can either try to kill him or have a round with him, lol.

 

[ND NYC]

is there a list of what recruits (2015 and 2016) are going to be at this game?

I miss Pat. IE isn't quite the same without reading crazy posts in Charlie Kelly's flustered voice.

Fuck Michigan.

 

[arndtjc]

God I hate those bastards so much. Their stupid wing tipped helmets, their stupid fucking colors, their holier than thou fight song. Fuck Michigoon! Fuck 'em!

 

[MNIrishman]

The whole state sucks, 'cept for the yoopers of course.

Fuck Michigan, gentlemen.

 

[ulukinatme]

Fun fact: on this day in 1837 the first person uttered the phrase "Fuck Michigan."

 

[gkIrish]

It's 9:18.....
