If You Plan On Attending The Notre Dame vs. Boston College Game, November 19, 2012

IF

you are a diehard football traditionalist.

you like the look of natural grass.

you don’t like commercials mixed in with instant replays.

you don’t care to view advertisement signs and billboards for Sirius, Sprint, Coke, et al.

you don’t like blaring music and obnoxious PA system announcers.

you don’t need a wall of flashing lights telling you when to cheer, clap, stand, sit, or shut up.

THEN

take a good long look around Notre Dame Stadium, because change is in the wind.  Between hints and comments from Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick and Head Coach Brian Kelly all indications are that field turf and a Jumbotron are in the works.  It may be the last time you get to enjoy a football game the way Stagg, Rockne and all the rest saw it coached and played.  You saw or heard a taste of it at FEDEX Field last week and heard the beginning of it during the USC game.  Music, uniforms, wall of lights/video, plastic and rubber grass, it’s a coming.

Our feelings have been well documented here at Subway Alumni Station:

Read Traditionalism Here.

To steal from Margaret Mitchell, it appears that Notre Dame traditional football is gone with the wind.
