The Notre Dame faithful give the Fighting Irish one of the biggest home-field advantages in college football. It will be diminished this season as the school announced Monday capacity will be 20%.
That said, the good news is the roar of the students will be heard as anyone from the student body is entitled to a ticket.
The announcement:
