I went to Notre Dame Stadium last weekend and it was my first time being at a 'big time' college football venue. The main difference was this--at ND there are no advertisements, no ridiculous timeout giveaways/promotions, it's just good old fashioned football. And it makes a huge difference. Notre Dame doesn't pump Pitbull through the surround sound--they rely on the band for their music. It's the way college football ought to be. The corporatized BS is tiring.
Game day experience is an absolute disaster. More things. Change. The more they stay the same. Video board showed stats midway first quarter. Both teams had zero yards. Commercials. Giveaways. I just sigh now cause it is what it is. Most embarrassing moment IMO though was when they brought out the navy vet. Woman in her nineties. God bless. But once she was acknowledged they happened to fit in the visa football throw during he same timeout. Embarrassing
Not defending our game experience but very easy for ND to do with all the history and money pouring in there.
Good news that the announced attendance was 33,000-ish.
Bad news: toilets didn't flush, no water in the sinks at halftime in the bathroom behind section 122.
After that, spent almost 30 minutes in line to get a bottled water and soda refill. So much for the first few drives of the third quarter.
Internet service is ssssssslllllllllllllooooooooowwwwwwwww.
Now that more fans are in the stadium, services need to be ramped up to match the attendance.
Get rid of the Zip line race. It is so stupid looking. We the in house fans have to see it while those at home miss it I hope.Game day experience is an absolute disaster. More things. Change.

Ill be honest, I am for the "Kiss Cam" as long as it is two blonde coeds. The one that attempted to flash the crowd is a great starting point. In other news, Syracuse is petitioning to remove the "Kiss Cam."We are not children who need to be entertained every minute. Get rid of the stupid stuff. So glad they did away with the kiss cam. It was ridiculous and embarrassing .
They did didn't they?

How much history does it take to get the down correct with some regularity? Is it more or less than it takes to keep the PA volume at a consistent level?

That'll require donation dollars that'll trump corporate donations.We are not children who need to be entertained every minute. Get rid of the stupid stuff. So glad they did away with the kiss cam. It was ridiculous and embarrassing .

I would watch you dancing in a Speedo like one of the Chipendales up on the big screen. Not. Same way I feel seeing a woman flashing her breasts although accidentally, she was embarrassed .
The Kiss Cam was almost replaced with the Cosby Cam but they opted out of that for obvious reasons.We are not children who need to be entertained every minute. Get rid of the stupid stuff. So glad they did away with the kiss cam. It was ridiculous and embarrassing .

Forget the helmet, why are we taking money from Jared-loving subway??!!??Why in the world are they still using that old helmet in the Subway Shuffle game. That thing jinxed us for sure. Get rid of that helmet.!!
