This past weekend Julie and I headed to Yankee Stadium for the Army – Notre Dame game.  This was the 50th game between both schools with Notre Dame leading the series 38-8-4.  The game itself wasn’t very close after the first quarter with Notre Dame winning 27-3 but the environment was really unique. Yankee Stadium was absolutely huge for a baseball stadium.

One of the more interesting parts of the night was the game balls arriving via Army paratroopers.  The jumbo tron had a video of them with head cams on in the plane and then throughout the entire jump.  It was surreal to see the stadium coming into view as these guys descended.
