Football Facility Tours

Guests to campus on home football weekends have special opportunities to get a sneak peek inside some of the areas usually reserved for Notre Dame football players and coaches only. Both the Friday Tunnel Tour and Saturday’s LaBar Practice Field Open House are free and open to the public. Come get a taste of just what it’s like to wear the gold helmets and call yourself a Notre Dame football player.

Friday Tunnel Tour

10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Football Fridays (except during team walk-throughs)

Since 1931, every Notre Dame football team has walked down the same tunnel, to the same field before every home football game. On Fridays of football weekends, Game Day Operations and Athletics is proud to give every Irish fan the opportunity to walk the same fabled walk every Irish player has taken for the past 80 years. Come experience the North Tunnel of Notre Dame Stadium, take pictures with the field in the background, and feel the echoes waiting to be awoke. Free and open to the public.

Notre Dame Stadium Tours

All fans can now get an insider look at one of the most historic, tradition laden and iconic venues in athletics with a tour of Notre Dame Stadium. Listen to ushers tell the history of the stadium as you walk the concourse. Take in the expansive campus view from the press box. Walk the Notre Dame locker room, touch the Play Like a Champion sign, and step on the field! Enjoy the hour long tour for only $10.00 per person.
