Notre Dame SportsSOUTH BEND – The House that Rockne built will finally have a Jumbotron.

The University of Notre Dame announced Tuesday that the Notre Dame Stadium renovation project will include the addition of a video board atop the south end of the stadium.

The complete renovation project, known as “Campus Crossroads,” was announced in January 2014 and launched in November after the 2014 football season. It is on target for completion in August 2017. The project is a $400 million venture to utilize the Fighting Irish’s home venue as a hub for academic and student-life initiatives.

“We are confident the introduction of video will significantly improve enjoyment of every aspect of a game at Notre Dame Stadium — including the ability to support game-day introductions and presentations with video elements, additional opportunities to promote the University, plus replays,” athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a release.

The school also announced today that the project will include improvements to seating, Wi-Fi and the stadium’s sound system. Renovations will also be made to concession stands and restrooms, including an increase in the number of women’s restrooms in the stadium. The upper and lower concourses will also be improved, with better lighting, seating areas, signage and video monitors.

Notre Dame Stadium as been in use since 1930.

The Irish open the 2015 season at home on Sept. 5 versus Texas at 7:30 p.m.
