ND Football Weekends Pep Rally

For the diehard Irish football fan, the Notre Dame Football Pep Rally is a great way to get the adrenaline flowing in preparation for Saturday afternoon's game. Despite ongoing construction at the Joyce Center, Friday night pep rallies will be held at a variety of campus locations during the 2009 season. See below for specific locations and details for each home game pep rally.
