Notre Dame Stadium is undergoing massive changes.
So, too, is pricing structure for attending games and the under-renovation stadium.
The university will have tiered ticket pricing beginning with the 2017 season, according to a statement released by the school Saturday. The changes will create “greater access and affordability for many fans.”
It also will mean price increases for those not sitting in the “cheap seats.”
In the past, the school has charged the same price for all tickets to football games. Under the new format, there will be eight price points in the range of $45-$250 per ticket depending on who the Irish are playing and where the seat is.
As part of the Campus Crossroads Project, the historic stadium is undergoing an estimated $400 million renovation. The upgrades inside the stadium include vinyl seats to replace wooden benches; renovated concourses; a 96-by-54 video board; renovated restrooms; and nearly 150 monitors throughout the stadium.
The stadium’s capacity will drop from 80,795 to around 78,000 as a result of the changes.
The school said there will be no increase in ticket prices in 2018 and student season-ticket prices will decrease by $5.
Renovations are scheduled to be completed in August of this year. The Irish will play seven games at the stadium in 2017 and forgo their annual Shamrock Series game for the year.
Notre Dame begins the season Sept. 2 at home against Temple and plays Georgia in South Bend, Ind., the following week.
