Just stay on 65/31W to Louisville, 65/31 to Indy and then 31 North into South Bend. Just go "straight."

An interesting option for Tiger and Irish fans going to this game is the stay and play golf package offered by the Morris Inn (the on-campus hotel at ND). https://morrisinn.nd.edu/

Both the hotel and the Warren Golf Course (Ben Crenshaw designed course... https://warrengolfcourse.com/ ) are on campus so are near the baseball stadium.

By the way, since graduation ceremonies are being conducted the following weekend after this series, its probably best if baseball tickets, hotel accomodations, golf tee times, etc are made in advance.

Notre Dame has always been on my bucket list, just like Lambeau Field. As soon as I saw the baseball schedule, it was like "if not now, when"?

So two things will be scratched off the bucket list this year. It's a good year. If the Tigers could somehow land in the Rose Bowl, it could be even better.

I'm Catholic, a Notre Dame hater, and am making the trip there.

At a certain point, history and being a sports fan overcome the ND hatred. My kids have been to the Bear Bryant Museum in T'town. Sort of like if I was a big NC hoops fan, I'd still want to go to Duke to see the campus and Cameron Indoor.

Why would someone travel to this game?

It's not like LSU at ND in football

I'll be there for Tuesday's game, driving over from Chicago midday. Got the tickets for $5 general admission as others have mentioned. I need to ask my ND alum friends for a good spot to eat before the game. I'll get there in time for some BP and to get a good seat (with all the Tiger fans).

From the pictures on the ND website, I appears Notre Dame occupies the third base dugout.

I hope we can fill the stands behind the first base dugout with purple and gold!

FYI, former Houston Astros star, Craig Biggio, has a son playing for ND, Cavan Biggio. He's their starting second baseman. He is batting .312 and has started all 38 of their games this season.

When are most Tiger fans headed north?

Tomorrow 5:50 AM on SWA out of New Orleans for me.

Chris Guilliot will be there! And I assume Rally Possom is making the trip!

its weird because you have some ND dick suckers in the LSU fan base and then you have those that have a huge hate for them.

I've always been a Notre Dame hater (over exposed, NBC contract, conference in all sports but football) and am curious to see if this trip changes by opinion of them.

Been looking forward to this one and now can't make it. I'm just an hour and a half away and daughter lives 10 minutes away. It's our Montana week. Dang.
