Chris Avila, well written my friend!

And I have to agree: from the marketing, recruiting aspects, this has to work. The uniform and apparel buzz, the prime time audience, etc. Even if it involves a lower-tier opponent, a strong argument can be made that’s it much better to play an Army or NC State in the Series instead of at home.

Keep barnstorming, ND! Reach the world! After all, it’s what we do.

In reply to chrisavila_01. Yeah that is a cool idea. I agree with the Venue/Opponent angle too.

In reply to IrishJimmy. I think the break in 2017 gives ND the chance to do just that. I think a lot of this will come down to matchups with quality teams in venues that people will travel to as well. I probably could write a whole other article on who and where I would like to see ND play in the future.

I like the concept. However, I think it is good to take a break at times. I think of the “outdoor game” in the NHL. It is a novelty that is starting to wear off. I would love to see ND do this every other year.
