Notre Dame football’s first home game of the 2025 season is here, and there will be plenty to do on campus all weekend starting today.
The Irish released their schedule of events leading to the contest against Texas A&M, and it starts with Friday’s Tunnel Tour’s through Notre Dame stadium at 11 a.m.-3 p.m. EST, but tickets are required for that event. The Rockne Rally is later that night, as it begins at 6:50 p.m. in the South Quad.
If you’re interested in tailgating before the game, you’ll be happy the know that the parking lot will open up very early, at 8 a.m. giving you plenty of time to enjoy the atmosphere. The famous Victory March will be a few hours before kickoff, starting at 5:15 p.m. on the Liberty Lawn.
After that, it’s almost game time, as the premium entrances will open at 5:30 p.m. with all gates opening at 6:00 p.m. The Irish will head to the field around 7:30 p.m., with kickoff shortly after that. You’ll want to get there early, as they’ll be giving our rally towels, pictured below, with the intention of a rowdy crowd. The heavily anticipated contest is almost here, and Notre Dame is pulling out all the stops for a great home opener.
