Before NBC got involved, my Dad took me to ND home games w/ a Noon start.

No TV timeouts. No sideline reporters. No screaming gal during game breaks. No blaring hip hop. No $6 bottles of water. Parking close to the stadium for little or no cost. No "F Miami" after a second game of the year beating of a low level former SWC program . Autographs and pictures with Irish players after the game just outside the North main gate. Those were the best days of my life when it came to ND football with my Dad.
