Lots to talk about in this thread:

- Freeman’s commitment to wearing a hat when it rains is telling 🙊
- Jerry love wearing a bedazzled choker?
- Realized that Price wears his helmet like Mahomes

But most importantly:

Continuing this topic of breaking down uniform choices

- What’s with players wearing so many black arm sleeves, tights, hoodies, etc? Namely thinking of Devonta Smith, but numerous other offenders. The equipment team should help them find some navy

Yeah, my biggest fashion conflict is getting people to realize navy blue and black are the worst color combo you can have.

Bumping this thread. Talked to a retired usher today and was told by him that Notre Dame is planning on announcing that they will be doing about $550 mil worth of renovations on Notre Dame stadium. Unknown why and unknown what exactly they will be changing/upgrading.

He also mentioned that $490 mil of the money that will be used is donor money for the renovations.

Lmao why? What could they add $550M of? It’s pretty perfect as is IMO.

They spent $400M+ on Campus Crossroads that finished in 2017.

Yeah, no idea. That's why I was shocked. Only thing I could think of is scoreboard upgrades, because I guess the current one they have wasn't their first choice. Also, the building they have connected to the stadium that holds the scoreboard, they're not the biggest fan of, but was too late in the Crossroads project to make any big changes.

Again, I'll ask around tomorrow, but I'd be surprised if its actually legit and the guy was not talking out of his rectum.

Imagine the possibilities...2 for 1 Weekend Special: Watch the Irish win on Saturday, stay overnight and then watch the Bears roll the dice with Williams

They are adding an espresso machine but need $550 mil worth of hired help from the football team for next decade to maintain the machine each week.

They better not be reducing seating if this ends up being true

Kind of surprising they would rennovate again so soon. While ND still fills out the stadium, we've seen the sellout streak end in the last decade and more and more teams struggle to fill seats. The general feeling I've been told is more people have started to opt out of games so they can watch on their big LCDs in their home theatres.

Shields Family Hall (new practice facility) was $100M+ too.

Personally I don’t love O’Neill Hall (the ziggurat below the scoreboard) but it’s far from ugly.

O'Neill Hall

Notre Dame campus attracts hundreds of thousands annually, featuring seasonal landscapes, Gothic buildings, expansive quadrangles, and iconic landmarks.

Props for the use of the word “ziggurat.” It does look like that.

Sound system definitely needs an upgrade. Wouldn't be shocked if some of the updates revolve around "theatrics" to enhance the gameday atmosphere. No clue what that would be, its damn near perfect as is, but im also old.

Put that money into preventing so many opposing fans of big programs in. Lol
