Notre Dame Football Fantasy Camp

Time to take a break from my big Knute Rockne hug to talk about something special that is going on at Notre Dame right now. If you haven’t heard about it yet, a Notre Dame Football Fantasy Camp is being held in South Bend at the end of June and the beginning of July. People who participate in The Notre Dame Monogram Club’s Fifth Annual Football Fantasy Camp, will get to act like a real Notre Dame football player for a couple of days.

The end result is that they get to play in a scrimmage against other campers. Before the game though, the participants, mostly men in their 30s and 40s, will have two-a-day practices, eat in the dining halls, dress in the locker rooms, see the Football Hall of Fame, get advise from ND coaches and trainers and much more. The highlight for most of the campers will be getting to slap the “Play like a Champion” sign on the way out of the Notre Dame locker room as they charge into the tunnel.

Sounds like fun if you’ve watched a little too much Rudy. Still, this experience is probably the next best thing to actually being in the game or getting Notre Dame Fighting Irish tickets at StubHub.com.
