Game #412 of the Last 414 for Stanley Weber!

Notre Dame super-fan Stanley Weber will be attending his 412th game tonight -- out of the last 414 at Notre Dame Stadium -- over the last 74 seasons!

The streak began November 22, 1941 when Frank Leahy's Fighting Irish beat USC 20 - 18 !!! It was the 16th game in this rivalry.

Stanley has kept every ticket over the 74 years at Notre Dame Stadium -- that's him holding the scrap book with the tickets.

His ticket cost for that first game in 1941 against USC -- $2.20 -- his ticket cost for tonight's game: $125.

These are the tickets to his first eight games at Notre Dame Stadium -- CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE.

Thank you Stanford -- for your convincing 56 - 35 win over UCLA last night!

If Notre Dame and Stanford -- run the table undefeated the rest of the season -- this will be the Fighting Irish's "play-in" game for the College Football Playoff.
