Notre Dame Stadium -- The Next Generation!

I found this great work @ NDNATION.COM -- as you can see -- an "architect" who doubles as a ND ALUM and Irish football fan went to work at what the next generation of Notre Dame Stadium might look like.  I for one -- think it's AWESOME!  I hope you enjoy the artist renderings -- along with a link to the creator's rationale for his design:

Tuitt Talks to Blue & Gold Illustrated

Notre Dame fans will enjoy this interview of FIVE STAR defensive end Stephon Tuitt -- who's in Austin, TX preparing to play in the USA vs. The World football game on Wednesday, February 2nd.  Tuitt is playing for TEAM USA along with fellow Irish "verbal" commits; Matt Hegarty, George Atkinson III and Anthony Rabasa.  Tuitt is generally regarded as one of the top 25 high school football players in the country -- and his recruitment hasn't been easy for Coach Kelly and the Irish.  Looks like things are all good between ND and Mr. Tuitt!  Also -- Notre Dame Central's Keith Arnold posted a second video of Tuitt today -- from the USA vs. The World practice -- you'll want to see this as well!
