SOUTH BEND, Ind. – I picked one heck of a wintry weekend to come to South Bend and cover the two Notre Dame basketball games. Without going into details, I’ve been exposed to the snowy and windy elements that have hit the areas and am thawing in my hotel room as I’m writing this. Outside, the snow and wind continue to blow without mercy.
In light of this and the wind chill advisory about to go into effect for St. Joseph County, Notre Dame has announced changes for those who planned or are planning to go to Purcell Pavilion for the women’s basketball game against Miami. These are necessary with wind chills that could fall to 25 degrees below zero.
Anyone who previously bought tickets and is unwilling or unable to attend the game can exchange those tickets for tickets to any remaining regular-season home game. However, no refunds will be given.
Additionally currently without a ticket who wishes to attend will be admitted free of charge. If you have not seen the Irish yet this season and haven’t bought a ticket yet but wish to see them, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. You’ll have to brave some nasty elements to get there though.
Whether you’re attending the game or not, if you’re in one of the many areas around the country currently affected by winter weather, stay safe. We don’t want anything to happen to our readers, and it won’t if you’re smart enough about your safety.
