ND plays at real stadiums. not over sized High School fields. even in the 1930's we had to play at NFL venues. our fan base is too large to play at rink-e-dink stadiums.
Polo Grounds, Yankees Stadium, old Tiger Stadium. it isnt Rutgers we were screwing, it would have been the fans.. yours and ours. if we played at you Junoir Varsity field only 55k fans could have seen it. At a better Venue, 85+ more of your fans AND our fans could have watched.
your fans/ students should be upset at the decesion to pass on this series. to play Notre Dame is like playing the yankees, the atmospehere is crazy/ something your program never well see now.

purguy12,
Look I am a Rutgers Fan, and I live in NJ and I think Rutgers should of took the deal. ND's not going to play Rutgers at a stadium smaller then a stadium thats like 15-20 min away. Its going to be a brand new Stadium. Why wouldnt you want to play there. ND is also playing at the New Cowboys Stadium against ASU. ASU is a bigger program then you guys and they took a deal. Just admit that Rutgers Screwed up. Its no big deal. Maybe you guys can beg to play us now.You're so misinformed it's hilarious.
First and foremost, the Meadlowlands is a 45 minute drive without traffic from Piscataway. On a game day, you're looking at not even coming close to making it there in that time.
Second, Rutgers would lose money on the deal. Not even just a little bit of money. They would lose a FORTUNE after you factor in things like lost advertising space (the owners of the stadium keep those rights on these deals), busses to bring the students the HOUR+ that it would take to get there on a game day, etc. With gas prices the way they are, we'd have to be stupid to take a deal like that, while gaining a net of maybe 5,000 tickets sold for us.
Third, the ASU and the RU situations are totally different. They would not be bussing kids into Dallas on game day. That's in essence an extra bowl game for them.
And finally, Rutgers is not UConn. We're going to have a 56,000+ seat stadium (plus $17,00 a pop luxury boxes) by the time the games would have been played. UConn's current stadium holds 18,000 at MAX CAPACITY.
I'd love for RU to play ND. I think it'd be a fun game. But I'm not willing to do so at the cost that Notre Dame is asking. That's a bush league deal. We have a good stadium. We're not UConn.
If Boston College's 40,000 seat stadium is good enough for you, why is RU's 56,000 one too small?

Typo. UConn's stadium holds 38,000 at max capacity, not 18, with 0 luxury boxes.

ND will be playing the Huskies at Foxboro. RU has fallen off the map.

kerins,
Boston College is a past Rival. and not a pathetic program.That's all well and good, and I'm glad you came up with such a brilliant response, but it fails to address all the other issues with the cruddy deal that I raised.

jtittiesmas.... i just added that one. you are a know nothing-jacka$$.
as a matter of fact.. you owe me 25 minutes more time added on to my life for wasting my time talking about Rutgers football. Never in my life will i ever waste time talking/ disgusing/ listening/ posting/ blogging/ emailing anything about Rutgers football and your .367 winning% in the last 20 years.
God bless, enjoy playing the Buffalo's/ East Carolina's of college football infront of your semi filled 55k stadium.
Be sure to let us know how you do against your tough non- conference schedule.... MORGAN STATE??/ NAVY/ ARMY/ UNC.

Wow. Just...wow.
Be sure to let us know how you do against your tough non- conference schedule.... MORGAN STATE??/ NAVY/ ARMY/ UNC.Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you guys play 2 of those four teams you listed? And didn't you LOSE to Navy last year?
Factor in tough foes like Michigan State, Georgia Tech, and Air Force (whom, by the way, you lost each of those games handily) and divide by the total number of bowl wins you have this millennium and you get...
NO room for you to talk.

RU is a fallback position for failures who can't get accepted to good schools.

ND plays Arizona State in the new Cowboys stadium in 2013. Jerry Jones is thrilled. By then RU will be thrown out of the BE. ND will be the home team for the game in Arlington. North Texas is lots smarter than New Jersey. Arizona State AD Lisa Love called it a magnificent game for our fans and alumni. Mulcahy is a horse's piehole.

correct me if i'm wrong... didnt all of those teams play in Bowl games?
what bowl game did Morgan State play in? how many years in a row have you lost to Army?
if you want to factor in games go ahead. take a peak at your pathetic Big East schedule and post us back.
