Notre Dame trip-- part 4

Our last stop on our tour of Notre Dame was somewhat of an afterthought but definitely worth it. We stopped at an athletic facility that housed the ice hockey and basketball teams. We walked in by the ice hockey arena and then kept walking and saw the court where the basketball teams play. Behind the ice hockey rink was a multipurpose sport court type place where they could probably host things like gymnastics and wrestling as well.


The basketball facility was actually not as big as we thought it was going to be but it was a really nice. As compared to Breslin Center at MSU, it's not nearly as new, but is pretty cool to see the old wooden seats and it's always cool to see a court that you have seen on tv!!




Going upstairs from the basketball and hockey courts there was an entire foyer that was filled with sports history and memorabilia from Notre Dame. It had past and current pictures from all the different sports they sponsor. All of these Heismans were just some of the cool stuff we saw.

After we left the school we headed to check out the College Football Hall of Fame but it turned out to be closed for the day so we explored South Bend for awhile and then found a restaurant for dinner and enjoyed a relaxing night! I'll post pictures from the Hall of Fame next because it was a pretty cool place!
