BOSTON — Waves of blue, gold and green inundated Fenway Park and the surrounding area over the weekend as Notre Dame football traveled to the home of the Boston Red Sox for its annual off-site home game Saturday—the first football game played at the iconic baseball stadium since 1968.
For Irish head coach and Massachusetts native Brian Kelly, who was born in nearby Everett, raised in Chelsea and attended St. John’s Prep School in Danvers before playing collegiately at Assumption College in Worcester, the setting matched his expectations.
“I came out a little bit earlier than I normally do,” Kelly said after the game.
