This Saturday, Notre Dame Stadium is set to dazzle like never before as the 9th-ranked Fighting Irish take on the No. 6 Ohio State. Fans attending the game are in for a treat, as each will be presented with a unique LED wristband upon taking their seats. These wristbands are not just ordinary accessories; they are programmed specifically for each seat, ensuring a synchronized light show that will illuminate the stadium in a sea of green.
The game has been designated as the “Irish Wear Green” event, and in line with this theme, Notre Dame players will don special all-green uniforms to face off against the Buckeyes. While the stadium has witnessed light shows in the past, they were orchestrated using fans’ cell phones. This Saturday marks the debut of the LED wristband light show, a first-of-its-kind for Notre Dame Stadium.
Don Scott, Notre Dame’s Assistant Athletic Director of Fan Experience, expressed his excitement about the upcoming event. “We’ve planned a range of captivating visual effects, from chases to light-ups and downs. Collaborating with Ron Powlus, Katy Lonergan, and Alan Wasielewski, we’ve integrated these effects to highlight touchdowns and significant plays. We’ve previously lit up the library and the South Bend River Lights for the ‘Irish Wear Green’ theme, and we’re eager to bring this experience to the stadium.”
Key Points for Fans:
- One Wristband Per Person: Ensure you only take one wristband. It’s designed for everyone to enjoy the coordinated light show.
- Stay Alert: Listen to the public announcer’s instructions. Make sure you’re seated and have your wristband on display. Special light sequences will be activated during team entrances and at various moments throughout the game.
- No Trading: Each wristband is tailored for specific sections and rows. Avoid exchanging wristbands to experience the full synchronized effect.
As an added bonus, each wristband comes with a QR code. Scanning this code offers fans a 20% discount on shop.fightingirish.com. Additionally, ten fortunate fans stand a chance to win exclusive items, including signed memorabilia and game-used equipment.
This mesmerizing light show initiative is sponsored by the Rockne Athletics Fund and executed in partnership with CrowdSync Technology.
