FAYETTEVILLE — If football is played, Notre Dame plans to limit the number of fans who can attend its home games this year, including the home opener against Arkansas on Sept. 12.
Notre Dame athletics director Jack Swarbrick said Tuesday that officials will "work real hard to create some space between our fans" this fall. Swarbrick cautioned that larger university issues must be addressed before the Fighting Irish's teams can return to play, but said games would not be played in an empty stadium.
“We haven’t gotten to the question of how big that audience is,” Swarbrick said during an interview for an alumni fundraising drive that was shown on the ND Loyal YouTube channel.
