Notre Dame vs. Army at Yankee Stadium In 2010

ATTENTION: NEW STADIUM INSIDER HAS MOVED TO NYYSTADIUMINSIDER.COM. FOR ALL OF THE INFORMATION YOU COULD EVER WANT ABOUT NOTRE DAME VS. ARMY AT YANKEE STADIUM , PLEASE VISIT OUR NEW AND IMPROVED WEBSITE!

Update (5:15 PM): Yankees.com has the official release - the field will go from center field to home plate, so those with seats behind the plate will be watching from behind the end zone.
As for tickets:
The Yankees will have an announcement in the future regarding ticket availability for the general public. Notre Dame expects to make tickets available to its contributing alumni and fans through its alumni lottery as it does with all other football games. Army will receive an allotment of tickets as the visiting team.
So, we'll see if Yankees season ticket holders do get a crack at pre-sale tickets in the coming months. The game is scheduled for November 20, 2010. Get your winter gear ready.

Some interesting news, via ESPN, apparently college football will be making its debut at Yankee Stadium next season:

Although the new ballpark is set up primarily for baseball, a football field will be set up with one set of goalposts near the Yankees dugout on the first-base side and the other set in left field.

Army and Notre Dame played each other at Yankee Stadium annually from 1925 to 1946, with one of the two schools being ranked No. 1 for each of the last four meetings at the famed baseball park. The most famous of those games probably was the 0-0 tie in 1946, when Army was ranked No. 1 and Notre Dame No. 2. The two teams last met at Yankee Stadium in 1969.

We here at NSI can't wait until they offer out a season ticketholder pre-sale for this first ever college football game at Yankee Stadium. We'll simply flip the tickets for well over face value to one of the many well off, insufferable Notre Dame "subway alumni" who live in the NYC area and make a little money on the deal.*

Sorry to offend any Domers who happen to read this site. We are as passionate about our Penn State Nittany Lions as we are about the Yankees, and the announcement of Charlie Weis lugging his fat ass around the field at Yankee Stadium is nothing short of sickening.

* We obviously won't do the same to an Army alum. They protect our freedom at home and around the globe.

So basically if you have seats on the first base side, they become end-zone seats, and third base sides are golden.
Won't this be considered an Army home game? I would think tickets would go to Army football season ticket holders first.

In these situations, they typically offer a pre-sale to season ticket
holders at the stadium. For example, I had the opportunity to buy tickets
to that inspirational speaker at Yankee Stadium before the general public
could.
The stadium only holds about 50,000. I would assume each school will be given 15,000-20,000 seats each for students and alumni. Only full season tix holders will get a presale for about 5,000 seats. The other 5-10 thousand seats will go to the public.
Trost said that Yankees suiteholders will have access to tickets to the 2010 game but not general season ticketholders. The Yankees will have an announcement in the future regarding ticket availability for the general public.

Thanks for the info. My plans are foiled again my Mr. Trost.
Trost said suite holders not season ticket holders will be able to purchase their "own" seats. He didn't say season ticket holder wont have "access" to tickets, just not their "own" seats.

Ahhhh, the plot thickens. I'm not surprised that Trost used ambiguous
language. He always speaks out of both sides of his mouth to allow for
backpedaling later.
sounds like jealously that penn state wasnt asked to play in this historical game.....

Notre Dame is a consistently overrated, underachieving football team with an overrated underachieving head coach. This game is BLAH
News flash penn state: we dont give a sh*t about you. You're not our rival. Stop thinking you're important to us, or anyone.

News flash to Notre Dame - you're not relevant on the national level
anymore. Should never have fired Ty.
You realize that Ty flashed a winless season in his last coaching stint, right?
Yes I do. He still got a raw deal in South Bend.
Ty got a raw deal? He walked with over 4 mil and then tanked UW. You sir are a typical PSU IDIOT!
How'd Charlie Weis work out for you guys?
