Any Louisville fan reading this thread: DO NOT TRY TO SNEAK ALCOHOL INTO THE STADIUM!

I'm guessing lots of Cardinal fans will bring alcohol into the stadium... in their bloodstreams!

Trust me...don't do it. Leave it in the parking lot. They don't warn you...they toss you out.

Texan Mark is correct. The ushers and university officials with binoculars are constantly on the watch. Anyone seen with booze in the stadium will automatically be ejected.

University police and the Indiana Excise Police will patrol the tailgates looking to bust under aged drinking.

Thanks guys for the warning....I agree probably a good thing....my group will want to drink a few at tailgate, but definitely not be too bad off so we can take in and remember the whole game. Fun times 04-cheers

Hotels are brutally expensive in/around South Bend. If you are driving up from Louisville...check around for the best rates and be prepared to stay an hour south.

If you are coming in a group, check out Rent Like A Champion Today

We had 14 family members stay in large house less than a mile from the stadium for $1,400 total, for the weekend.

All of the hotels within 30 miles of South Bend double their regular room rates for ND home game weekends.

Unlike many other schools whose fans live nearby, ND fans drive and fly in from all over the country.

The hotels know this and react accordingly, supply and demand.

We had 14 family members stay in large house less than a mile from the stadium for $1,400 total, for the weekend.

This is really good advice, IMO. My group of friends/family and I make the trip to South Bend every time Pitt plays up there and we always rent a house somewhere near the stadium. The rates are reasonable and the people are kind. For my money, there is no road trip in college football better than the trip to South Bend.

That said, from a bar and entertainment standpoint South Bend makes Storrs, CT look like Chicago. There are a handful of bars in the whole town and none of them are anything special. Of those, I like Corby's the best but even that is just so-so.

Still, having the ability to rent a home so close to the stadium makes the whole experience well worth it. You need at least 10 or 12 people to make it work and we always travel in a very large contingent so that plan works like a charm for us. However, if you're coming with a smaller group, you're probably best served staying in Chicago or up in Michigan City, IN or Sturgess, MI.

Some of my other favorite road trips include Lincoln, NE, College Station, TX and Annapolis, MD. The trip to the Naval Academy is unbelievably cool and anyone who has a chance to make that trip is foolish to pass up that opportunity. I would love to visit West Point as well but I have never had the occasion to make that trip.
