Game Day Traditions

Notre Dame Stadium

Centerplate, the largest hospitality partner to North America’s premier sports stadiums, convention centers and entertainment venues, announced today a series of new menu concepts, service enhancements and fan promotions for the upcoming Fighting Irish football season.

Centerplate increased the stadium’s cooking capacity with the addition of new grill stands, carving stations, and chef-attended action carts on the concourse. They have also installed a new point-of-sale system, which will speed service and provide fans greater payment flexibility.

Along with your traditional hotdog, burger, and popcorn, Centerplate will offer new menu items such as:

• Hand carved Prime Rib, Turkey Breast, and Corned Beef Brisket sandwiches
• Pot Roast and Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches
• Italian Sausage with peppers, onions, and marinara sauce
• Noodle Stand with fresh vegetables and noodle Wok action station
• Churros
• Bavarian handmade Pretzels

The Irish Green

The Irish Green is a free public hospitality area on the south side of campus. Located directly behind the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, the Irish Green offers a family friendly environment for fans to hang out, enjoy multiple food and drink vendors, and take in both live music and Notre Dame-oriented entertainment.

Friday Hours: 4:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Saturday Hours: 11:00 a.m. – 30 minutes before kickoff

The Knights of Columbus Steak Sandwich

It’s tough to beat a thick, juicy steak, straight off the hot coals, slapped between two buns and handed to you on a napkin. Slather it with A1 sauce and you’ll understand why the lines stretch from South Quad to Sorin Hall. When it comes to good eating, the KofC Steak Sandwich is a Notre Dame Game Day tradition that is second to none. A steak sandwich and drink costs just $6, and all profits go to charity, including Corvilla and Gibault. Over a quarter of a million dollars has been raised in the last five years alone.

Where? Served before the game on South Quad in front of the Knights of Columbus Building, but it’s just easier to look for the long lines of football fans. (Or the guy in full body paint and a fright wig sitting on a ladder with a megaphone yelling “STEAK SANDWICHES!”)

When? Sandwiches are available from 10:00 a.m. until 30 minutes before kickoff, but the Steak Sandwich is a perfect stop on the trek from the Player Walk to the Bond Hall Concert on the Steps.

Dorm Barbecues

Here’s another distinctly Notre Dame Game Day eating option. Look for the bright yellow saw horses, blue plywood tables and large amounts of billowing smoke and grab a burger, brat, or hot dog. Your purchase helps support the general funds of the dorms and student groups running the stand.

Where? All over campus. Look for the yellow saw horses.

When? All day and right up to Game Time.
