Touchdown Jesus image[edit]

Could someone please take a picture of Touchdown Jesus from within the stadium? That would be more approrpriate for this article. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 15:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps so, but until someone does post such a photo, there is no reason to delete the existing one in the article. Wahkeenah 15:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reason 1: it is improperly inserted; Reason 2: it is uncaptioned; Reason 3: it has undue weight within an article about a stadium, not a building partially viewable from the stadium. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 15:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All of which simply call for better editing, which you've done. Excellent. Now, you could go to the stadium and take the "better" picture in question, and then everything would be peachy. Wahkeenah 18:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now that we have an image from inside the stadium don't remove it because you don't like the score. Trust me, I don't like it either. I'll bring my camera to the USC game this year and see if we can't get something better. --MrCalifornia 15:33, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This image is waaaay better, so kudos for getting it. Folks removing it because of the score seems to be a problem though... I know it's a little "unencyclopedic" to do such a pandering move, but how would y'all feel about blurring out the score, just to reduce the odds of vandals coming and deleting it? --Jaysweet 18:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just add that is a low resolution, blurry, out of white balance, offset photograph which needs to be replaced ASAP. -- KelleyCook 21:19, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I'll make it my mission to hike up and take a picture after the Georgia Tech game on Sept. 1. The current picture needs to be replace, but it is better then nothing. --MrCalifornia 22:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I took a new picture. Not sure if the 33-3 score is much better, but from my seats there was a great view of the Basilica, the Dome and TD Jesus, so I tried to capture all 3. --MrCalifornia 19:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And it is better than the one that was there before. I'm not a college football fan so I had not seen Touchdown Jesus, and the after seeing the previous picture I still felt like I hadn't seen it :D This one at least gives you an idea of what the big deal is. --Jaysweet 17:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Long Grass[edit]

The grass being cut long to slow "speed based" teams has no citation. And frankly how would it affect only the "speed based" teams, wouldn't a slow Notre Dame still have to run on the same grass to catch up to the other team to tackle them? It would slow them down at the same rate. --MrCalifornia 13:54, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sellouts[edit]

The article talks about games being sold out "as of 2006". Can anyone update this?Hanksummers (talk) 20:13, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photographs[edit]

Are there any available photos of what the stadium looked like before the mid-1990s expansion? Hanksummers (talk) 01:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seating[edit]

I do not think that it would be original research or point of view to mention the fact that the seating is very tight for 21st Century Americans. Certainly, there must be some articles that cover the close quarters in bench seats with no backs. Group29 (talk) 18:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Football Exclusivity[edit]

Not true: the 2008 Big East Women's Lacrosse Tournament was played in the Stadium. Might as well mention the annual tradition of hosting the Men's and Women's Interhall Football Championships in there as well. 74.186.150.111 (talk) 03:10, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated text in "Attendance" section[edit]

The following appears in the article's "Attendance" section: "It is expected that this streak will end at the Navy game on November 16, 2019. The university cites an unusual schedule of 3 home games in November as a factor." Could someone knowledgeable about Notre Dame football records please update that? It's obviously outdated; it was also arguably a WP:CRYSTAL violation anyway. I don't want to revise it myself because I don't know enough about the topic to do so and I don't want to render anything else in the paragraph erroneous if I remove the problem text. 1995hoo (talk) 21:02, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
