I was listening to the radio and the Notre Dame football coach was telling them about the game that they were going to play Navy.
“ Well the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are going to be playing Navy this weekend and I have the coach here with us to tell us a little bit about this,” said the radio announcer.
“Well, today we are going,” says Brian Kelly, ”to be giving away some tickets to our game this Saturday.”
The announcer asked, “OK, then let's start. How are we going to do this?”
“We are just going to pick a random name that has texted a number that is on the Notre Dame website. If you text that number, some of you can win tickets,” said Brien Kelly.” I will be picking names for this in five minutes so you should be quick.”
I run and

The coach is still there, so we get to meet him and he congratulates me on winning the tickets. He explained that the tickets will let me lead the team out of the tunnel at the beginning of the game and I will get to meet all of the players on the team.
I get to pick the seats and they are right above the tunnel by the end zone. We get an autographed game ball and a jersey with all the players names signed on the jersey. We will also be given a tour around the campus.
Dad and I get talking about what we will see at the game and we get really excited. This will be my first college football game and I really want to go and visit the campus. The golden dome, grotto, touchdown Jesus, and the coach statutes are some of the things we will see.
As we are preparing to go to the game, we get all of our Notre Dame gear together to wear and plan where we are going to eat. Stadium seats with the foam are necessary because the stadium seats are made of wood. Bug spray is in the bag to help us not get eaten by bugs in the stadium. This was the best game I have ever gone to because Notre Dame scored 3 touchdowns over Navy and they won the game! I felt very excited that this was very worth my time, and I was excited I won this in a
As we begin our treck to our seats we pass countless passionate fans I look to the scoreboard, the giant Budweiser neon sign, and to the enormous coke bottle and marvel at their size. Then
It was a clear afternoon on November 10th, 1928 when the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team took the field against the Black Knights of Army. Army was the number one team in the nation that year, and Notre Dame was having one of their worst seasons ever under the leadership of legendary coach Knute Rockne. At the end of the opening half, neither team had managed to score.
The anticipation as I stand in the concrete tunnel under the bleachers is my life’s biggest moment of uncertainty. Will the crowd stand on their feet in a standing ovation, or will the crowd deem me as mediocre? As I look to my left and right, my teammates’ faces assure me that their nervous excitement is identical to mine. When I hear the announcer on the loudspeaker and hear the students’ shouts, I know it is time to walk on the sharp green blades on the field under the shining Friday night lights.
Food & Drinks: Instead of settling for chips and dip this game day, head down to Buzzard Billy’s for all your favorite sports bar favorites like chicken wings, burgers and soul food. Plus, the bar at this local restaurant is completely stocked with every single beer that you can think of, so you’ll be able to keep your glasses full to cheers with your friends for every touchdown.
When one thinks Notre Dame, one often thinks of college football and visions of Knute Rockne, The Four Horsemen, Joe Montana, and Paul Hornung. Silly as it may seem, there's more to Notre Dame than just football, namely lacrosse.
Woo hoo, I won two tickets to a Notre Dame vs. Cardinals Football game. I’ve been wanting to go to a Football game for awhile, better yet, it’s Notre Dame. I won the tickets by putting my name in the raffle, I didn’t think I would win, but I just wanted to try. My parents don’t usually let me go to Football games, they say, “it’s a waste of money, and time.”
To accommodate just about any room, we offer full-size helmets, mini helmets, throwback helmets and footballs in acrylic display cases for wall mounting or table displays. To complete the look, we also have signs and banners and helmet desk caddies to complement your team and decor.
So we walk into the sports complex and it is simply amazing. We could only tour the entrance part but it was still a very cool experience. We saw all of the bowl game trophies that Iowa has won in the past 20 years. We also saw all of the all-American award winners that have passed through Iowa. My favorite part of the tour was seeing Nile Kinnick’s Heisman Trophy. The Heisman trophy is handed out to the most talented football player in the country each year. It’s one of the most prestigious awards in any sport in the world.
The football game was the most exceptional event of this year’s Homecoming because it was at Dozer Park. This was the second year that the Homecoming football game was played at the Chief’s stadium. Having the game at such a large venue brought many people out to watch. The energy of the crowd was another thing that made the football game even more exciting. The atmosphere and intensity of Dozer Park made watching the game exciting.
I laid my eyes on the shiny Longhorn’s Golden Ticket that I pulled out of the University of Texas at Austin envelope I received in the mail. In an archaic font, the letter read “Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this golden ticket. From the University of Texas at Austin! . . . This magical ticket will take you wherever you want to go–past, present, or future. Close your eyes, hold the ticket, and think about where you want to go. In your wildest dreams, you could not imagine the marvelous surprises that await you!”
The high powered lights reflected on the players’ metalic blue jerseys and the crisp chill in the air alerted the fans that fall is almost here indicating that it is time for football season.The stands are filled with cheering students, fans, family, and alumni. The first home football game consisted of amazing performances from the band, the Pink Panthers, and had many generous promotions from the team’s sponsors.
students who walk with the high school band to the game receive free admission to the game. we leave the school at 6:30pm. if you arrive later than 6:30pm enter the gates at the stadium and expect to pay admission. Middle school band students will sit in the band section behind the high school band during the first two quarters. at half time they
My favorite memory at Mizzou so far would have to by the Rally for Rhyan basketball game that took place recently. Sitting in the student section with my closest friends and looking out at a stadium of packed with over 10,000 students, fans, and alumni, there was a unique energy in the arena. It showed that the Mizzou community truly is a family that supports each other through thick and thin, and it was incredibly inspiring to see everyone rally together to let Coach Loos know that he didn’t have to face Rhyan’s diagnosis alone. Between the standing ovation for Rhyan and Coach Loos at halftime, to the excitement of a Mizzou victory that day I feel that the game truly embodied the spirit of the Mizzou Tigers, which is why I am still wearing
Game Entertainment: When our team runs out to the field and when the game ends fireworks will be fired, When our team scores a burst of fire will come out of our gun shaped flamethrower, out of our paid birthday announcements for fans, paid proposals announcements and shown on the jumbotron for game replays and as if it was a kiss cam, dance/music performance at halftime to hype up the fans, we will have musicians play during the breaks such as Steve Earle, Holly Dunn, Christopher Cross, etc.. on our stage and the national
Hey Freshman Parents ~ if your child is going to the first home football game tonight you might want to send money with them to school to get a ticket. They are less expensive if they purchase them at school during the day. The price goes up for all at the gate. (Parents, you can also go get tickets for the family for the lower cost at the school).
