The stadium was dedicated to the immortal Notre Dame fotball icon GEORGE GIPP.
Notre Dame Stadium is an outdoor football stadium in Notre Dame, Indiana, the home field of the University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Located on the university's campus, it also hosts commencement. Opened 89 years ago in 1930, the stadium seating capacity was nearly 60,000 for decades.
Replacing Cartier Field, the stadium opened its gates on October 4, 1930, with a win over SMU. The total cost of construction exceeded 0,000 and the original seating capacity was 54,000. Head coach Knute Rockne played a key role in its design, keeping the space between the playing field and the stands to a minimum. It is patterned, on a smaller scale, after Michigan Stadium, the main difference being the tunnel location. In 1929, plans were started by Osborn Engineering of Cleveland, selected for their experience in designing Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park. The original stadium seated 59,075, measured a half-mile (800 m) in circumference, stood 45 feet high, and featured a glass-enclosed press box rising 60 feet above ground level. Initial stands reached 55 rows.
The official dedication was on October 11 against Navy, and Savoldi scored three touchdowns and was cited as "the first hero in the lore of Notre Dame Stadium."
