...there are pictures galore, from men's and women's basketball (of course), but volleyball and concerts that have taken place inside the arena. Since you have not been there in so many years, these visual "blasts from the past" are worthwhile. (i.e., Elvis really played here?)
Safe travels and have a blast.
Don't forget to Blame (and beat) Davie!
visit the ACC when I went to games, though it has been a while (last one UT). Also fun if you it is open is the hockey arena in addition to all the ND fields for other sports that have been mentioned.
If hot (looks like it will be mid 70s), good place to cool off - and clean restrooms
It's on the Main ("God") Quad. When you look at the front of the administration building, it's the second one to the right (Washington Hall is in between). It was/is a kind of student union but has a lot of things going on...including some good seats in the lobby that also have a bunch of high-def. televisions. Good place to sit and take it in.
Plus, there's a secondary, mini-bookstore area in one of the alcoves. And in the back are a bunch of mini-places to drink (Starbucks) or eat (Subway).
And a lot of restrooms.
They'll usually tell you what time the teams will scrimmage. In the past these were held in Purcell and generally open to the public. Now that the new practice facility is finished, I don't know what the protocol is.
enter the Purcell Pavilion. The basketball teams have sometimes scrimmaged there on football Saturday mornings. I don't know about public access to the new practice facility. It has been invitation only so far. I think it would be a good idea to open at least a view of the courts to the public on football Saturdays, but I haven't read anything about that.
The volleyball team is on the road for the weekend. Men's soccer will play Clemson on Friday evening and women's soccer will host Iowa on Sunday afternoon.
I hope that you will have a good visit this weekend!
