Fan Appreciation Day at Notre Dame

The University of Notre Dame has announced that Fan Appreciation Day will be set for Saturday, August 11th. If you would like to catch the only live practice this season open to the public, then you should get to Notre Dame Stadium before the gates open at 8:30 this Saturday. You can see the three potential QB’s try out their arms perhaps, or see other position battles on a team filled with question marks. The Irish will practice from 9:00 to 11:30, so long as the weather holds.

Some things about the practice might not be the most conducive to getting the stadium filled with fans. For one, there will be no tailgating permitted either before or after the game, which is a real bummer. You also can’t bring alcoholic beverages into the stadium, and the concession stands will not be open. This, clearly, will not be something that the boozers will want to see, but it might be interesting for people who are really into getting an idea about who will become a starter this season. The good thing about it is that Fan Appreciation Day is free, with general admission tickets being issued on a first come, first serve basis.
