Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 3442526, member: 41"] Jake got ND to agree to a "1 for 2" deal in the 2000's. 2003 in the Dome (The Walter Reyes game). 2005 (the Tim Lane game :( ) and 2008 (the Art Jones game) in South Bend. You're correct that ND didn't want to come back to the Dome, but they did offer the "South Bend / Met Life" deal instead. I believe the Met Life people payed SU quite well for the games. We might have lost home field advantage, but we didn't lose money. This was before SU got the ACC invite, and before ND agreed to play 5 ACC teams a year. The Met Life games were kept on the schedule, and one of the South Bend games got moved to the Bronx. Over the course of ND's 1st 12 year "deal" with the ACC, we'll end up with 2 games at Met Life, 1 game at Yankee Stadium, 1 game in Syracuse (2022) and 1 game in South Bend (2025). Not terrible. During ND's 2nd 12 year deal, we'll play twice in Syracuse (2029 and 2037), and twice in South Bend (2026 and 2034). [/QUOTE]
