Stanley's #409 of the Last 411 at Notre Dame!


Can you believe it -- Stanley Weber attended his 409th game today at Notre Dame Stadium out of the last 411 -- over the last 74 seasons!

Stanley brought his ticket scrap book for me to see -- every one of the 408 tickets -- prior to today, are showcased in this scrap book!!!

The top photo shows his ticket from GAME #1 -- it was the USC game in 1941 and his ticket price was $2.00 plus 30 cents tax!  The #4 ranked Irish beat USC that day 20 - 18.

  • Shaun Crawford -- starting nickel CB -- knee injury
  • Tarean Folson -- starting RB -- knee injury
  • Malik Zaire -- starting QB -- ankle injury
