BC v Notre Dame Football Weekend


The juniors and seniors headed to South Bend, IN to catch the BC v ND football game a few weekends ago. Although, the Eagles lost, it sounds like these upperclassmen had a great time!

"So we land in Chicago late Friday night to be picked up by a limo!!! And Mr. Alley to take us to Hannah’s beautiful house just outside of Chicago. Hannah’s house was gorgeous, and the Alley’s could not have been more hospitable, giving each of us a bed, a nice wake up call in the morning and bagels before we left their house early Saturday morning to catch the shuttle to go down to South Bend. We arrived in South Bend early Saturday morning and got to explore the beautiful campus and see touchdown Jesus as we made our way to the BC tailgate with all the RVs. Although it was rainy, freezing, and BC ended up losing, all of that didn’t seem to matter. The lacrosse team at Notre Dame was nice enough to take us in and make us feel at home in their off campus house. Sunday morning we woke up bright and early to do some more exploring before we headed back to explore Chicago. We got the chance to see ND’s beautiful chapel, the grotto and hang out and get breakfast in their student center. Also, we were able to sneak in an open gate to the stadium and walk on the grass- a cool experience. Never having been to Chicago before, it was awesome to get some deep dish pizza and hang out around Millennium Park for the day before catching out flight back late Sunday night. Overall the weekend was a lot of fun and I was so glad so many of us were able to make the trip out there. "
