And the suites will still be available for use, albeit at a reduced rate, for a schedule of true amateur football, which I think will prove more popular than many expect. After all, the league that MAS imagines will include many familiar names, including many of our traditional football opponents.
All the other popular aspects of an ND football weekend will remain the same...pep rallies, the grotto, tailgating, mass drunkenness, and such. It is the campus ambience that draws a majority of weekend visitors to campus, in my opinion. I was there last week and the stadium was packed, even though both teams are sub-par, football wise, the tickets are overpriced, and the team bears less and less resemblance to the overall student body with each passing year.
Of course, there will be the predictable howling, but I think the transition will be smoother than most people think.
