Notre Dame Stadium is the home football stadium for the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish, one of the most celebrated college football teams in history. The stadium is located on the campus of the university, adjacent to the city of South Bend, Indiana, USA.
The stadium opened its gates in 1930. Total cost of construction was more than US$750,000. The original seating capacity was 54,000. The Irish played their first game in the new stadium on October 4, 1930, beating Southern Methodist University 20-14. The official dedication was on October 11 against Navy. In 1997 21,000 new seats were added to the stadium, bringing the seating capacity to the present 80,795 (currently the 19th largest stadiium in NCAA). The stadium is known for its "Touchdown Jesus", a nickname given to a large mural of Jesus looming over the stadium with his arms raised to signify a touchdown, rather than the traditional outstretched pose.
