Going all the way back to 2018, ND has only had 2 true home games to start the season.
2018- Michigan
2019- @ Louisville
2020- Duke (covid season)
2021- @ FSU
2022- @ Ohio State
2023- Navy (@ Ireland)
2024- @ Texas A&M
2025- @ Miami
2026- Wisconsin (@ Lambeau Field)
ND fans were concerned about ND dealing w/ the Texas heat at the start of last season & rightfully so but I think the South Florida heat/humidity on 8/31 will be a much bigger concern.
Why does ND hardly ever start the season w/ a home game?
