Anyone commited to attending??? I'm still mulling it over
Have you ever been to its campus? I'm not an alum but I have visited South Bend at least half a dozen times. Impressed with its beauty and the spirit of the student body. There's more to the Fightin' Irish than Rudy.I like that the NHL is branching out to new markets/stadiums, but Notre Lame is right up there with the Habs and Pens as my most hated sports franchises. I reckon that doesn't add anything to this discussion, but felt the need to let my disdain be known.

I don't doubt it's a beautiful place. My distaste for their institutions stems from an incident several years ago where they had a contractual agreement to do a football home and home with my alma mater, but after my Huskies kicked their asses on their home turf, they backed out of their end of the agreement and never came to Hartford. Buncha sore losers.Have you ever been to its campus? I'm not an alum but I have visited South Bend at least half a dozen times. Impressed with its beauty and the spirit of the student body.

OK, you're still upset at the snub. But putting it in the same hate mode asHabs is strong.I don't doubt it's a beautiful place.

What do you think ticket prices will be like for this event? Think it's going to sell out or is the stadium massive?
80K seats. It's an hour and a half from Chicago, a fanbase that's getting outdoor game fatigue, so I have no idea. I expect it will sell out, but I don't expect to see the level of demand for the Wrigley Field or Soldier Field games.

This is the first Winter Classic where one of the teams is not in driving range of the game. Boston is 900 miles and 14 hours away if the roads are clear.
IF you are driving take the I-84 to I-80 route instead of I-90 as the stretch of I-90 from Buffalo to Cleveland is notorious for lake effect snow. No direct flights to South Bend so Chicago is the best option.
I'm debating it.
I went to ND for a BC/ND game with my grandfather probably 15 years ago, and it's one of my favorite memories. Great campus an atmosphere there.
We stayed in Chicago and drove down.
Any idea when jerseys are going to be revealed? Was it October last time?
