There are only 8500-9000 students at Notre Dame? Perhaps 7500 undergrad. Say 80% go to the games. Less than 10% of the fans are students. State schools have 30-60k students. Or 4-7 times as many students
2000 ND students graduate each year. How many living, able bodied alumni do you think there are say less than 75 yrs old?
This is an equal opportunity issue. It’s just as much an alumni problem as it is a student as it is subway alumni. That stadium sounded pretty damn loud Saturday night. Put a good product on the field and a decent opponent and you get a loud stadium.
