South Bend, Indiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

south bend is 70 mins from Chicago... so not TOO far out in the middle of nowhere.

playing in front of 100k people and the occasional national TV spot doesn't quite compare to playing every single game on national TV for the past 16 years (with the exception of the USAFA game). Notre Dame was playing in 4 (or was it 5?) out of the 9 games that attracted more than 5 million viewers... so ND gets the broader audience

as far as defensive players into the NFL and DC coaches, you guys win that battle.... but the winds are changing up in South Bend.
