Notre Dame/Wake Forest game to remain in NFL venue

With games being moved and canceled, Notre Dame has been made aware that they’ll still be playing in one NFL venue for the first time in ’20

A growing assumption around college football has been that games scheduled for neutral sites would be moved to campus venues for 2020, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

That was the case last week when the Notre Dame versus Georgia Tech contest was moved to Bobby Dodd Stadium on Tech’s campus, but one ACC opponent of Notre Dame’s is sticking with the game being played in a neutral, NFL stadium.

Notre Dame was scheduled to play Wake Forest on September 26 before the ACC schedule changes were announced last week.  Wake Forest officially announced Tuesday that the game, known as the Duke’s Mayo Classic this season, will remain on September 26 in at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

That will add to the list of venues Notre Dame has played a football game in and gives one of the ten dates of Notre Dame’s ACC games this season while Wake Forest will play their other official home games at their actual home, Truist Field in 2020.

If Notre Dame is to qualify for the ACC Championship Game in 2020 they’ll make a return to trip to Charlotte as Bank of America Stadium has hosted the conference title game s10 of the last 11 years.

The Irish are still yet to announce an opponent or date for their one non-ACC game that they’re allowed this season.
