7:00 AM: Tune in to NBC's Today Show -- I'm just guessing that the Today Show will spend a pretty good period of time this morning promoting their PRIMETIME telecast tonight between the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and the Black Knights of Army at Yankee Stadium. And, I suspect Notre Dame fans will "take over" the plaza outside the Today Show's studio in Rockfeller Center -- so look for the Irish when they do their "remotes" from the plaza. The Today Show runs until 10:00 AM.
10:30 AM: Notre Dame Mass @ St. Patrick's Cathedral. University of Notre Dame President, Rev. John Jenkins -- will preside over Mass at this Catholic landmark in Midtown Manhattan.
12:00 PM: The Band of the Fighting Irish's traditional "Concert on the Steps" @ Times Square! The greatest college marching band in the land will set up on the "steps" in Duffy Square in the middle of New York City's Times Square. This should be a "must see" for all Notre Dame fans in NYC today!
1:30 PM: Game Day in NYC Tailgate Party @ Sheraton Hotel & Towers. This event is already sold-out. It runs until 6 PM.
4:00 PM: UND.COM's exclusive pre-game coverage begins -- LIVE from Yankee Stadium. Just click on this link and get ready for the big game!
Please note: It's been rumored that The Band of the Fighting Irish (all 390 of them) will be taking the Subway from Grand Central Station up to Yankee Stadium. And, it's also been rumored that the subway cars they'll be riding in -- have been "wrapped" in a design celebrating Notre Dame's famed "Subway Alumni." Now, I haven't been able to confirm this -- but, those of you in NYC for the game, you may want to ask around to see what the Band's plans are for getting to Yankee Stadium.
5:00 PM: Notre Dame "Young Alumni" Event @ Billy's Sports Bar next to Yankee Stadium. This should be a "hopping place" before game time!
7:00 PM: NBC's Prime Time telecast of the Notre Dame vs. Army game begins. The pre-game ceremonies are expected to be quite special -- with former Heisman Trophy Winners from Notre Dame and Army on the field for the coin toss to be joined by a member of the late George Steinbrenner's family. And, the Army's "Black Knights Parachute Team" is expected to make a "grand entrance" into Yankee Stadium. See the link below to one of NBC's best ever "tune in" promotional spots for today's game. THIS WILL GET YOU FIRED UP FOR TONIGHT!
