Notre Dame Stadium History and Overview

Notre Dame Stadium is an on-campus stadium that serves as the home of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team. Located in Notre Dame, IN, it has been the home of Fighting Irish football since its opening in 1930. The stadium has a current seating capacity of 77,622, which was increased in 2017 during a renovation from the previous total of just under 60,000 that had stood for decades. This increase was supplemented by the addition of 17,000 seats for the 1997 season.

This stadium has housed some legendary teams led by coaches such as Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy, and Ara Parseghian, who have collectively led the way for a program that has claimed a total of eleven NCAA Championships in its illustrious history.

Notre Dame Stadium Seat Breakdown

All seat numbers in Notre Dame Stadium follow a similar pattern, where the lowest-numbered seat is located on the right side of each section, next to the lower-numbered section. As you face the field from your seat, the lower-numbered seats will be to your right. Seat 1 in section 28 is next to the highest-numbered seat at the end of section 27.

The majority of seats at the stadium are bleacher seating, meaning no chair backs. If you’re not thrilled with sitting on bare bleacher seats, be sure to bring a seat cushion.

Which Seats in Notre Dame Stadium Include Chairbacks?

The seats in premium seating zones (defined as Rows A-I) in lower-level sections 8 through 12 and 26 through 30 feature seating that includes chairbacks. If you’re not sitting in these preferred areas, you may want to consider bringing a seat cushion.

Where is the Notre Dame Sideline?

The Fighting Irish bench is located in front of sections 27 through 29, while the opposing team’s bench will be situated in front of sections 9 through 11.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish Student Section

Student seating within Notre Dame is located in sections 29 through 36. Student tickets for Fighting Irish football games sell out quickly, as a limited number is allocated to the student body. More importantly, you won’t be able to purchase student section tickets on the secondary market, as only currently enrolled Notre Dame students are eligible for these seats.
Student tickets are also only transferable to other Notre Dame students.

Notre Dame Stadium Club Seats

Club seating at Notre Dame Stadium is relatively scarce, but there are a few new options available, which we’ve noted below.

Duncan Student Center 

Located along the western side of the stadium, the Duncan Student Center provides club seating between the 15-yard lines on levels 7 and 8 of the stadium.

Loge seats are also available from the goal line to the back pylon in the end zones, located in levels 7 and 8, which are situated high above the Notre Dame sideline. These club seats offer amenities such as a private restroom, dining, and access to a service bar.

Corbett Family Hall

Along the east side of the stadium is Corbett Family Hall, which offers fans club seating high up in levels 7 and 8, located between the 30-yard lines. Loge seating is available from the 10-yard line outward on level 7. Seats within this club area also provide access to private restrooms, dining, and a service bar.

Visiting Team Fan Sections

Suppose you’re a fan of the opposing team traveling to South Bend to catch a game at Notre Dame Stadium.

In that case, you’ll want to look for seats in the visitor seating area, located in sections 14 through 16 on the lower bowl tier and sections 114 through 116 on the tier above.  If you’re an Irish fan, you may want to avoid these sections!

Best Seats at Notre Dame Stadium

As cliche as it is, there really isn’t a bad seat at Notre Dame Stadium; however, like any football stadium, the best viewing will come in the sections between the 30 yard lines, particularly in sections 9 through 12 and 27 on the student side and around 15 rows up in those sections so that your view isn’t obstructed by the team’s bench and players in front of you.

This will also provide enough rise to watch plays develop while still having a great view of the entire field.

Shuttles to Notre Dame Stadium

There are shuttle buses that run to and from the stadium, beginning at 6 a.m. on game days, with at least one shuttle operating throughout the entire game.  Buses will run post-game for at least two (2) hours until all lines of fans are accommodated.

The shuttle picks up at the White Field Lot and Bulla Lot (which is ADA accessible), which are both pictured below, along with the routes marked by the black arrows.

  • Cell service can get spotty, so it’s advised to mark your tailgate with a large (unique) flag so friends and family can find you

For those who are confined to a wheelchair and/or those looking to attend a game at Notre Dame Stadium with someone who is, there is some important information that you’ll want to know. If you’re seeking ADA or handicapped seating, you’ll find accessible rows at the top of most sections throughout the stadium.

If necessary, folding chairs will be provided for guests, such as those looking to sit with a fan confined to a wheelchair.
