Notre Dame has taken its annual Shamrock Series game to venues like Yankee Stadium, Soldier Field, Lucas Oil Stadium and AT&T Stadium since the event's inception in 2009. But Fenway Park looks like it'll trump all of those stadiums when it hosts Saturday's Notre Dame-Boston College game.
Some photos of the home of Boston Red Sox's transformation into, for the weekend, the home of Notre Dame football:
It looks like there is enough room behind each end zone, and Notre Dame made sure that would be the case to avoid a Northwestern-Illinois Wrigley Field embarrassment (when the game had to be played into only one end zone due to safety concerns about the east end zone).
We'll see if redshirt sophomore wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. can re-create this photo of his father, taken during the 2013 ALCS when he crashed over the right field wall at Fenway Park trying to rob a David Ortiz grand slam.
"That would be epic if that happened,” Hunter said in August. “That would be epic. With the hands up, that’d be pretty cool. I’d do it just for laughs. I’d just go jump over it.”
Fenway Park hasn't hosted a football game since Dec. 1, 1968.
"We love these Shamrock Series games," coach Brian Kelly said. "We play great venues throughout the country, and this will be another great one in an iconic venue in Fenway Park, and the guys were really excited about playing in a stadium that has such great tradition."
