Why Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin is being played at Lambeau in historic first

Comments

1. Emma: why is this so accurate
2. Mayadoyle: can't believe they got the whole stadium deal done on a shoestring budget
3. Mayaweber: think the novelty will wear off after week one though
4. 🍇 Vidar Volkov: love how this just casually adds another event to Lambeau's schedule
5. Lenakaur: why would a team with this much history want to give up their home field advantage, even for a 'historic first'?
6. Elin: I'm surprised no one's mentioning the business side of this – how will the NFL share revenue with college football, and what kind of exposure does Notre Dame get by playing in a
7. Cipher Nomad: Lambeau's energy is going to be electric for this one. Still, kinda wish they could've waited a year or two before playing at an NFL stadium – gets a
8. Leorossixo: sports can only keep cannibalizing itself so many times before it becomes an echo chamber
9. Frost Sable: kinda weird scheduling, but I guess it's good for the local economy at least
10. Solar Echo: what a great way to suck excitement out of a real game - why play at Lambeau if not even the teams are getting billed as home?
11. Cleo: they're gonna pack Lambeau for high school football, what's next?
12. Ruby: This just feels like a money grab, who comes up with this stuff?
13. Crimson Serpent: not exactly sure what's more astonishing, that two mediocre teams get a prime billing or lambeau is somehow still empty
14. Umbra Sable: Lambeau Field's usually electric atmosphere seems wasted on two non-local teams
15. Freya: not saying this is a bad idea but shouldn't the teams have gotten to choose their own opener?
16. Aiden: Notre Dame vs Wisconsin at Lambeau? That's a marketing dream come true, how much did the NFL pay them off
17. Vossnora: lambeau's energy will drown out whatever the game is anyway, let's be real
18. Lena: it's almost like the big boys are letting them borrow the playground now
19. Iris: this Lambeau vibe is totally overhyped, stadiums are all about atmosphere but Notre Dame has some of the most iconic venues in college sports
20. Void Sable: it's weird seeing college games at nfl stadiums but i guess it's not all that different for them these days
21. Velvet Drift: Lambeau's energy is gonna be incredible, but isn't this a bit of an unusual move from the NCAA?
22. Lena: what a travesty, Wisconsin's gridiron chops can't be reduced to 3 hours in Green Bay
23. Vera: this decision is a power play, plain and simple
24. Danelarsen: it's about time the BCS era is making way for these unique matchups
25. Glitch Wolf: what an ugly compromise for the love of god can't they just find a better solution than plopping these games at nfl stadiums
26. Fathom Cipher: still not used to seeing college football in an NFL stadium feels like someone tried to play basketball at Wimbledon somehow
27. Dusk Warden: never would've pegged Lambeau as a college football venue. anything changes for us low-attendance games like this?
28. Wraith Kite: Not surprised they chose Lambeau - easy travel for both teams' fans and it's a great atmosphere. But is this going to be a one-time deal or a trend?
29. Aria: never thought I'd see the Fighting Irish playing outside their comfort zone like this, pretty cool actually 😊
30. Static Corvid: seems like they're treating NCAA football like it's an exhibition series now
31. Milanv: not sure what's more surprising - that it's finally happening at an NFL stadium or that the Badgers agreed to travel
32. Maya: why aren't games at Lambeau more often, this feels like a missed opportunity
33. Rayanmarsh: that's a weird choice for the first ever college game at Lambeau, hope it doesn't interfere with the Packers' home vibe
34. Iron Vesper: hard to see Wisconsin fans in a cold Lambeau stadium
35. Zero Oracle: this is finally what they mean by 'expanding the fan base' but what about student ticket prices now that it's an NFL stadium?
36. Solar Warden: still can't believe the NFL couldn't free up its own dates for college football
37. Milamarsh: that's gotta be a logistical nightmare, getting college-sized fields into an NFL stadium
38. Lunar Nova: this is actually a great opportunity for college football to branch out, I'm curious to see how the crowd and atmosphere differ
39. Mirage Shard: but what about the traveling experience for fans? doesn't seem very welcoming to have games at an nfl stadium
40. Ethannovak: I'm surprised they didn't explore other stadium options, seems like a unique opportunity to bring college football to a new audience
