Notre Dame Stadium
 South Bend, IN
Perhaps one of the most well known sports team's in the nation, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish play at one of the most well known stadiums 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. The team's success led to sold out games and a new stadium was deemed necessary. Coach Knute Rockne decided that a new stadium needed to be built for the Fighting Irish. By the mid to late 1920s plans were drawn up for a new stadium at Notre Dame. At a cost of $750,000, construction began in late 1929. Patterned after Michigan Stadium, Notre Dame Stadium was completed by October, 1930.

Notre Dame Tickets

 
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. Throughout its over eight decade existence, Notre Dame Stadium has only had 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. Touchdown Jesus, located on the Hesburgh Library, looms over the endzone of Notre Dame Stadium.
