SOUTH BEND — The story behind the story of this college football season opener is staggering.
When fifth-ranked Notre Dame football starts on Sunday, Sept. 6, against Wisconsin, it will do so in Lambeau Field, named for Green Bay native Earl "Curly" Lambeau, one of the men responsible for bringing professional football to Northern Wisconsin.
He was a former Notre Dame fullback who played a key role in the first game of the first season for Irish coaching legend Knute Rockne.
True story.
Noie: Notre Dame football now has one heck of a new home to call its own
