SOUTH BEND — Everyone ***** ociated with Notre Dame football is still reveling in the newness of Shields Family Hall, the mammoth football facility that opened on July 31 ahead of fall training camp.
"I'm still learning the building," senior safety and team captain Adon Shuler said Tuesday at Notre Dame Stadium. "I keep joking around with Drayk (Bowen) like, 'We need a map.' That's how big the building is."
Officially listed at more than 150,000 square feet and built at an estimated cost of more than $100 million, the facility replaces the 21-year-old Guglielmino Athletics Complex, which had housed Notre Dame's football offices and training facilities in its 97,000 square feet.
The move to Shields represents "a huge upgrade," Shuler said, calling it "a breath of fresh air" amid the dog days of August.
"It's just humbling," he added. "I haven't really been able to enjoy the whole thing yet, but we're going to be in there all day and night during camp.
