Notre Dame Sellout Streak in Jeopardy
If they think they have issues this weekend, wait until UConn comes to town:
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The Notre Dame football team’s home-game sellout streak appears to be going down to the wire this week.
Tickets for Saturday’s game between the Irish (3-1) and Washington (2-2) at Notre Dame Stadium (2:30 p.m. CDT) are still available. The university sent out a news release Friday morning to that effect.
The sale, the release stated, is a result of the University of Washington returning an additional portion of its ticket allotment on Friday.
Senior associate athletic director John Heisler said he did not know the exact number of tickets remaining for Saturday’s game at 80,795-seat Notre Dame Stadium.
Notre Dame has a streak of 207 consecutive football sellouts, dating to a Thanksgiving Day game against Air Force in 1973.
In addition, a limited quantity of tickets remain available for the Nov. 21 game against the University of Connecticut as a result of its allotment returns.
When you mix high prices and a poor product with a bad economy and a stale gameday environment, you are messing with fire.
I actually think this weekend’s game will sell-out, but the UConn game might break the streak.
UPDATE: Notre Dame’s Sellout Steak is Alive
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The Notre Dame football team’s home-game sellout streak went down to the wire this week, but a late rally on Friday afternoon kept the streak alive.
Tickets for Saturday’s game between the Irish (3-1) and Washington (2-2) at Notre Dame Stadium (2:30 p.m. CDT) are sold out.
