Heading to a game there this fall. Any recommendations on where to eat Friday and Saturday night? Game day advice? It's currently listed as a mid afternoon kickoff.

I would kill to watch good football like that.

I am stuck with the DEI bald headed loser we call Dave Aranda

Stroll down Eddy Street Commons just south of campus for food and drink options galore. Very cool experience...

Great venue to watch a game. I went to the game in 1998 when we played them in South Bend. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and we only lost 27-3.

Get to campus early if you can, it's a really nice campus.

Their Knights of Columbus chapter used to have a steak sandwich sale which I would recommend for lunch on gameday if they are still doing that and you're not tailgating.

Go to the admin building and go to the stadium with the band.

I have been to the linebacker lounge....right by campus

Its like Scuffs...dirty and very college like

Corbys irish pub is closer to downtown....nicer and less dirty

Still college-ish type bar

South Bend has a river going right through it....Notre Dame campus is on the right/east bank

Downtown on the left/west bank

I would spend all your time on campus since its very nice and historic. People tailgate and give out free food and booze in the south parking lot of the Stadium...very nice

The town itself is just average.

Thanks for the tips. Keep them coming if you have them. Not going in 1998 is on my college regrets list. Losing makes it a small regret, but a regret nonetheless.

Do everything in Chicago. Go to Lou Malnati's. Starbucks reserve. Stay at London House. Do the Architecture Tour. Take train to South Bend. ($18 1 and 1/2 hours) Spend day in South Bend. That was my dream school as a kid.
