Notre Dame Will Be Part of Crazy Weekend at Lambeau Field

If the college football season goes according to plan, Notre Dame will play its 2020 Shamrock Series game Oct. 3 at Lambeau Field.

If the college football season goes according to plan, Notre Dame will play its 2020 Shamrock Series game against Wisconsin on Oct. 3 at Lambeau Field. Whether fans will be allowed there is anyone’s guess at this point. What’s not a guess, however, is that Green Bay just got busier for that weekend because with Thursday’s release of the NFL schedule, the Packers have a home game against the Atlanta Falcons on “Monday Night Football” two nights later.

This is not a situation the Packers were hoping to find themselves in. It’s not so much that these games are scheduled so close to each other. Rather, it will be a challenge figuring out how to prepare for their own contest properly.

Whether the NFL schedule makers didn’t know or didn’t care about the Shamrock Series game, there’s nothing that can be done now. The folks tasked with preparing Lambeau Field for two games 48 hours apart really will have to earn their pay on that weekend. It’s not their fault different levels of football laid claim to the same stadium so closely to each other, so they simply will have to deal with it. Good luck to everyone involved.

Two 2020 Notre Dame Football Matchups Ranked Among Ten Most Exciting

It’s hard to argue that either belong, my only argument would be that the Clemson match-up should be higher, although I get why it isn’t.

With the season over for everyone who isn’t a Clemson or LSU fan you’re left with nothing to look forward to besides 2020.

Based off that 247Sports today ranked the ten games they’re looking forward to the most and to the surprise of nobody, Notre Dame finds itself on the list more than once.

The biggest game for Notre Dame fans is an obvious one, that being when Clemson comes to South Bend on November 7.  It will be just the fourth-ever meeting between the schools and Clemson’s first trip to Notre Dame since 1979.

Couple that with Trevor Lawrence and plenty of friends returning for the Tigers, who may be two-time defending national champions at that point and it could be the biggest game at Notre Dame Stadium since arguably the 2005 clash with USC.

247 Sports ranked that game the game they’re third most-excited for in 2020 with it trailing only Ohio State traveling to Oregon in September and Alabama and Georgia meeting in the regular season (non-SEC Championship) for the first time since 2015.

They also rank Notre Dame’s trip to Lambeau Field to take on Wisconsin in Week Five as the tenth most exciting matchup next season.

It’s hard to argue that either belong, my only argument would be that the Clemson match-up should be higher, although I get why it isn’t.
