Celebrating South Bend and Notre Dame
“There are nine stripes in each endzone — totaling 18. They are each set at an angle of 42 degrees — all pointing towards Notre Dame’s iconic Golden Dome. They signify the year 1842 — the year the University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded.” Source: JIM SMALL’S NOTRE DAME GO IRISH BLOG — www.NDGOIRISH.com — A NOTRE DAME BLOG: End Zone Stripes Are In — Notre Dame Stadium

Now that’s a great question! I’ve learned so many interesting things about Notre Dame over the years, but one thing that really stands out is the history of the university’s iconic Golden Dome. Did you know that the original dome was made of wood and was covered in gold leaf? It was built in 1879 and was a symbol of the university’s commitment to excellence. In 1882, a fire destroyed the original dome, but it was rebuilt in 1883 using brick and terra cotta. The current dome is made of stainless steel and was installed in 1963. It’s a remarkable piece of history and a testament to the university’s enduring spirit!

When Charles Jagusah went down for the season early in training camp, the conventional wisdom was that fifth-year senior Tosh Baker would be moved back to left tackle and eventually named the starter. Based on media viewings this week, however, it appears true freshman Anthonie Knapp has moved into the top spot on the depth chart and could be headed towards making his first career start in Kyle Field against the Texas A&M defense in just over two weeks.
