Notre Dame's first home football game of the season is this Saturday. Fans are gearing up for the event and so is the school. And there's some brand new things to look out for.
Number ONE
New Cell phone charging stations. Friday and Saturday they'll be around campus.
Then when the game starts Game day Operations Director Mike Seamon said they'll be moved inside the stadium. "If you're at halftime and your phones running low you can go get a quick charge," said Seamon. Another plus, you should notice improved mobile coverage on campus too!
Number TWO
New Full Service Bathrooms at Burke South Parking lot. Inside there's more than a port a potty. You'll find real stalls and sinks. "They're heated or air conditioned depending on the weather, running water," said Seamon.
Number THREE
The new fan experience located at the Joyce Center. Seamon said, Interactive games for kids, autograph signings, food and drink to be purchased. It's just a fun festive environment for people to hang out."
Number FOUR
Improved Guest Services. There will be more booths where you can stop and ask questions and get information. Plus there will also be more courtesy carts to help you get around. "It's a free taxi service. you wave it down, flag it down and the drivers will be able to take you anywhere on campus that you want to go," said Seamon.
And some extras, a more fan-friendly mobile site. It's gameday.nd.edu. It'll tell you about parking, tickets, tailgating, and much more.
There's also a Game day Parking App for iphones that is not sponsored by the University. It'll cost you a buck 99 but It'll help you find a place to park for the games based on price, walking distance and more.
