We got there early and did a little tailgating.
The weather was chilly and it started to rain for a bit so we did some tailgating in the car in the parking lot too! Once the rain stopped, we caught the shuttle bus and headed to campus.
Of course, per Wally, we had to take a picture in front of Touchdown Jesus.
We decided to have lunch at Legends which is a restaurant/bar on campus near the stadium. It was nice to warm up and relax for a bit. We finished lunch just as it was kickoff. Neither of us were in a hurry to get in to the game so we wandered around campus for a bit.
It was nice because it wasn't so crowded since most everyone was at the game.
We finally decided to head into the game at halftime. It was actually a really good game with each team taking turns scoring. Notre Dame pulled it off in the end though.
It wasn't terribly cold at the game, but the wind was blowing in our face. I'm not sure I would have made it sitting there for the whole game!
After the game we made our way to the mass that is held 45 minutes after the game. We headed there right away and still had to stand but it made it much quicker to get out and catch the shuttle back to our car.
All in all, it was a fun day despite my worries about the weather the whole week leading up to the game!
Thanks to Grandma & Grandpa Z. for watching the kids and for the tickets!
