Looks like Notre Dame dropped their demand for Northwestern to host a game at Soldier Field if a home and home was ever scheduled. Northwestern plays at Notre Dame in 2014 and Notre Dame comes to Evanston, hopefully to a renovated Ryan Field, in 2018. This takes the place of a 2014/2015 home and home with Stanford. Brilliant marketing move. They got a larger visitor's allotment than normal and since tickets in NU's allotment for road games is only available to season ticket holders and donors, they can move season tickets based on a road game. Won't be an easy schedule with Cal and Vandy also scheduled, though. Not to mention we get Ohio State and Wisconsin from the Leaders division that year.
