Notre Dame Gameday

Team singing the alma mater after the game .

View of the students from our seat -- note the green "the shirt" of 2010 that 100% of the students and about 1/4 to 1/3 of the rest of the fans are wearing.

We went back to Notre Dame early on Saturday, October 9 (gameday against Pitt) to park fairly close to campus, and again walked around. We ate lunch at the south dining hall (our favorite place to eat on campus). The room is beautiful, like a refectory, and the food is very good for cafeteria food. It was so hot -- around 80 degrees at gametime of 3:30 -- that we spent quite a bit of time inside at the visitors center next to the bookstore, then went over to the stadium shortly before kickoff. Luckily, we were in the shade the whole time. Our seats were above the students, around the 10 yard line -- not too bad. The atmosphere was very different from last year -- much more lively and optimistic. And ND won!! All in all, a good day.
