The Joyce Center is home to quite a few things, including the Sports Heritage Hall of Fame. Visit the basketball arena during a football game? YES. There are plenty of other places on campus to buy merchandise, but this one comes with a merit badge for surviving. You simply have to go once, just to witness the incredible chaos that develops here on a game day. There is an aura here too, but it’s much more like Wall Street. Just be there for a few minutes and you’ll understand. With all that goes on during game day, there is still a quiet aura that surrounds the place. Located behind the basilica on the northwest side, people constantly name the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes their favorite place on campus. It is an absolutely beautiful place, and for first-time visitors, it will honestly take your breath away. Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images THE BASILICAĮven if you’re not Catholic, and even if you’re not a Christian, you absolutely must see the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Aside from the golden dome atop the Main Building, it’s probably the most iconic landmark on campus, and you’ll surely want a picture of yourself in front of it. Please keep in mind that this is also called The Hesburgh Library and The Word of Life mural. Here is a map of campus with a link to a pdf for closer examination: It can be a little overwhelming for first-time visitors to see it all and do it all, but if you give yourself enough time, it is possible to see most of what Notre Dame has to offer. Not because it’s hard to find things around campus, but because there is so much to see. Propane grills are permitted, but gas cylinders must be under 20 lbs.NO propane cylinders larger than 20 lbs.NO box trucks, motorcycles, or oversized vans.NO amplified sound –- speakers that stand alone, are excessively loud or are connected to an amplifier.TAILGATINGĪlthough there are various places to park, the university rules for tailgating are the same for all. Not only is White Field cheaper, it also has a shuttle service to and from campus. White will cost $30 and Burke will cost $40. The two most common parking lots for “off campus” parking are White Field (off Douglas Road) and Burke Golf Course (off Angela Blvd.). If you have a parking pass for one of the campus lots (Joyce, Stadium, Bookstore, etc.) the pass will have most of the information on the back side. THE BASICS OF BEING THEREīefore we get into all of the other stuff, you need to get there and know what is allowed. This is more of my personal take on the whole experience. I highly encourage you to visit that site as well. Much of this information comes from Notre Dame’s GAME DAY website. The University of Notre Dame is a landmark for college football fans, and with each game in South Bend, you will see thousands of people flocking there to witness all that the school has to offer. This is also for any fan of the teams that Notre Dame is playing this year. If you’re going to go this year, we don’t want you to miss anything. I often take it for granted that I have attended so many games over the years I know that many only make it a few times in their lives. With the storied tradition of Notre Dame Football and a large fanbase, trips to Notre Dame for game day weekends should be some of the most treasured memories of a fan’s life. That’s seven weekends of sightseeing, tailgating, and college football worship that is unlike any other school in the country. We are about to begin another football season for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and this season has a whopping seven games at home. ![]()
