Notre Dame plays in Ireland for the third time on Saturday afternoon against Navy, but for the first time the Fighting Irish will be the home team. As such, the field at Aviva Stadium will have a very Notre Dame flare to it, including a nod to Notre Dame Stadium‘s icon endzones.
Here’s a video the University posted on Wednesday.
Whoever came up with this concept did a fantastic job incorporating Notre Dame’s 18 stripes from the endzone of Notre Dame Stadium with a Celtic knot concept. For those unfamiliar with the history behind Notre Dame’s endzone stripes, there are 18 of them, all at 42-degree angles, to represent the 1842 opening of the University.
