For the first time in 46 years, there will be empty seats at a Notre Dame home football game.
A streak of 273 consecutive sellouts is expected to end Saturday when the No. 16 Fighting Irish (7-2) host No. 23 Navy (7-1) in South Bend, Ind., according to the South Bend Tribune.
The last time Notre Dame Stadium, with a capacity of 77,622, was not sold out was on Nov. 22, 1973, against Air Force.
It was the second-longest streak in NCAA football history, behind Nebraska’s still-active run of 373 straight home sellouts.
