The Traditions
Every game day begins with the Notre Dame band marching from the steps of Bond Hall to the stadium, a spine-tingling procession that draws thousands of fans to line the route.

Pregame Rituals
Inside the stadium, players touch the "Play Like a Champion Today" sign before taking the field โ€” a ritual visible on the tunnel cam.

In-Game Moments
The "Notre Dame Victory March" is arguably the most recognizable fight song in all of sports, and the crowd sings it with full-throated conviction after every score.

Must Experience
Don't leave without visiting the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, where fans light candles for good luck.
