Campus will be beautiful as usual. Game day atmosphere will be average at best with our dumpster fire season. Enjoy the campus.

Game day atmosphere will be just fine as long as the weather is not too terrible. Check daily for the forecast. Some here like to transfer their feelings on to the rest of the 80k in attendance. Doesn't work. Won't work. Those attending will have a great time and you will find Irish fans very accommodating. Everyone has their favorite parking spot. I park White Lot with free shuttle on to campus and back to the lot after the game. See helpers with white baseball caps and green jackets that are all over campus. They have the current event schedule for the day along with free brochures and maps. If you want the schedule ahead of time, I have it and I will post it if you want. Otherwise, Irishjohn68 posted a great link.

Park on Twyckenham if you want a good tailgate within a short walk to the Campus. If you want to buy a parking pass to the stadium lot or Joyce lot try the big guy who stands in front of O'Rourkes. Always reasonable. Rocco's Pizza is good, I personally like the old school atmosphere of the Fiddler's Hearth on Friday night or after the game. http://www.fiddlershearth.com/

Tunnel tour on Friday followed by the Grotto as it gets dark. Stop by the Basilica as well as try to catch Trumpets Under the Dome. Player walk is also fun in my opinion. If you have not seen a hockey game try to get tickets to Notre Dame's game on Friday night. Lots of fun. Of course go to the on Campus Book Store.

Check out Eddy Street Commons across the street from Campus....The Mark restaurant is good, also the fast casual Italian place, Five Guys, Brothers and O'Rourkes Public house all worth a visit.

If you like College dive Bars then check out the Linebacker. Lot's of fun in my opinion if you do not take yourself or it too seriously.

Have fun!
