<p>Any home football game is going to be crowded with students, families and other fans. The Thanksgiving weekend which is either going to be UCLA or Notre Dame will be exceptionally crowded (we’ve gone the past 2 years). This is not an average school day. My daughter was turned off by Notre Dame when we visited there for the USC vs. Notre Dame game (prior to her decision of where she would attend). She said there were far too many “old people” and hardly any students. Any school with a devoted alumni base is going to be filled with alumni (“old people”) for football games. That’s one of the things that makes it great.</p>
