For all the legendary players and memorable moments it has hosted on its bluegrass turf over the years, Notre Dame Stadium has unquestionably developed a lore all its own. The stadium continues to be one of the most recognizable and revered structures in the world of sport. It was the success of Knute Rockne's Notre Dame football teams - plus the legendary coach's own personal building blueprint - that prompted the addition of Notre Dame Stadium to the University's athletic plant back in 1930. The spirit that was imbued by the Rockne era- and has been sustained by the seven Heisman Trophy winners and dozens more All-Americans who have competed on that turf- has changed little in those six decades of football in Notre Dame Stadium.
