I think we are going to just walk around campus and house hop, hearing the clubs/fraternities all sell food and beer

Notre Dame doesn't have fraternities or sororities, but people align with their dorm as if it was a greek thing.  They all set up tables with food and drink outside their halls on game day.  It's usually packed up and gone about an hour before kickoff as most of them march over to the stadium together.

And by the way, I don't remember anyone selling/drinking beer on campus before the game.  I think you are only allowed to have alcohol in the stadium parking lots and designated tailgate areas.

Easy walk to the stadium.

Nonetheless, we should all try to meet up and go into the game together as a group/tailgate party.

1.) Who is going to the game?

2.) If you have a tailgate, where, with who and is it open to others?

3.) If you have no tailgate plans, feel free to make suggestions.  Not opposed to going from house to house but we should come up with a meeting place/time beforehand so we can go as a small contingent and mingle with the ND folks.  I'd love to hang out with some USF folks while we're up there.  Me and my farther inlaw will be at the game.

4.) What time is everyone planning on going into the Stadium?

Is that where you guys will be?

Does anyone have recommendations or thoughts on travel?  We have to drive in from Michigan the day of the game so I'd like to get there early enough to still tailgate but don't know how traffic will be.

Yes. We have a BULLS fan whose dad is a ND grad. He gets one set of tix each year and this is where they always park. Said it's an easy walk to the stadium.

10-4. Bdyzer.  I'll try and meet up with you guys there then.  The father-in-law and I are planning on getting there early and then touring the campus then doing a little tailgating if possible.  Thanks for the heads up. I would recommend any other bulls not a predestined place to come join us to get a group together!

do you have any links or anything I can follow on this? I basically was planning off this angle and if adult bevvies are out then I may need to revamp my plans
