247Sports ranks Notre Dame’s facilities as one of the best in the country

This is a good list to be on

In the ever lasting recruiting race, schools across the country continually try to one-up each other when it comes to their facilities. Athletes spend most of their time there, so having one of the best around the country is a big selling point for many schools.

Recently, 247Sports Brad Crawford ranked the Top-25 schools based on facilities and Notre Dame came in thirteenth, in front of schools like Michigan, Tennessee and Florida.

Notre Dame’s simplistic look had quite a dazzling facelift prior to the 2017 season with a new-look locker room for players… Notre Dame’s new 111,400-square-foot Irish Indoor Athletics center, which will serve as an indoor practice facility for the football and men’s and women’s soccer programs, opened in July 2019.

The Irish aren’t too flashy with their facilities, using a simplistic look that is classic and timeless. Glad to see that it still ranks among the best in the country.
