Don't Take Me Out To Fenway


I'll never understand why Notre Dame decided to play ones of its home games on November 21, 2015 at Fenway Park against Boston College. The place is the worst stadium to watch football. The game will provide fans with terrible sight lines of the field.

Pats fans were so happy when the team played their last home game on December 1, 1968 against the Bills. They eventually moved to the newly built Schaefer/Sullivan Stadium after stops at Harvard and Boston College Stadiums.

I was surprised to see Notre Dame agree to play in such a small place. They could have attracted 68,000 at Gillette Stadium, but will end up with a live gate of about 40,000. The television revenue factors into it. They wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't worthwhile. It's all about the money in college football.

They are also selling the Fenway park angle.
