Notre Stadium
South Bend, IN

Perhaps one of the most well known sporting teams in the nation, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish plays in one the most well known facilities in the nation, Notre Dame Stadium. Prior to the building of Notre Dame Stadium, Cartier Field, a 30,000 seat stadium, was home to the football team. Because of continued success, the team regularly sold out this facility. Led by the success of Coach Knute Rockne’s, he decided that a new stadium needed to be built for the Fighting Irish. By the mid to late 1920’s plans were drawn up for a new stadium at Notre Dame. Constructed at a cost of $750,000, construction began in late 1929. Patterned after Michigan Stadium, Notre Dame Stadium was completed by October 1930.

 

The Fighting Irish played their first game at Norte Dame Stadium on October 4, 1930 against SMU. Originally with a capacity of 54,000, the main one tier grandstand circled the entire playing field. Through its seven decades of existence, Notre Dame Stadium has seen only one main addition. Prior to the 1997 season, the stadium was expanded to its current capacity of 80,795. Nearly 21,000 seats were added along the top rim around the stadium. In addition, the first three rows of seats were eliminated, a new grass field was installed, new scoreboards were placed above the rim of the stadium in the north and south end zones and a new three tier press box was built. Notre Dame Stadium remains one of the most unique stadiums in college football with its brick exterior and setting. Over the years seven Heisman Trophy winners have played at Notre Dame Stadium and the Fighting Irish have sold out every game since 1964.
