GreensboroGoldenDomer 0 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If you love ND like we do it's a beautiful locker room. But if you've seen these updated Locker rooms around the country it makes ours look like its from 50 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if I would go that far, but I do think they are trying to keep the tradition there as well. I don't think the intent was to make it look like an Alabama's or something. It represents ND well imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It represents ND well imo Yeah I agree, i thought they did a great job molding the past with some sweet present day upgrades. It was never going to be Texas's new room and they didn't want that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the more important, and player friendly locker room is in the Gug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidence, I think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Irish 207 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 If you love ND like we do it's a beautiful locker room. But if you've seen these updated Locker rooms around the country it makes ours look like its from 50 years ago. Think that was intended to keep the roots of the stadium tied back to the guy who made it happen -- Knute Rockne! Tradition means something at ND, and the locker room, albeit updated, reflects that. I like it! If that keeps a recruit away, so be it. He doesn't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Chris 79 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 If you love ND like we do it's a beautiful locker room. But if you've seen these updated Locker rooms around the country it makes ours look like its from 50 years ago. My first thoughts exactly, and I would love for someone to change my mind. Is it beautiful? absolutely. It's gorgeous!. It would be outstanding for a Vegas Country Club, or a Spearmint Rhino. Nothing about it screams kickass college football locker room to me. I'm sure the low lighting in the promo video was to help stir thoughts of glory days of yesteryear, but can we please get some light in these catacombs to jack some kids to play some football. Thank God they didn't break out a smoke machine. EDIT: they did.. We decided to go modern when we updated the stadium and added the giant screen and signed the contract with Under Armour, so why go with a locker room designed by people that don't design locker rooms? Total guess on that last one, but the school is still responsible for all final decisions on the look of the locker room. I want a locker room for savage beasts, not power attorneys and industry moguls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many 50 inch tv's do we need to expect the 5 stars to come here? Maybe if the Catholic PARENTS taught their children well and didn't have the $$$$ signs in their eyes, maybe we would still have a "leg up" again.

Kellyisit 0 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Keep in mind this is just the gameday locker room. They are redoing the Gug soon which is where the players spend almost all of their time. That will hopefully be the facility with cutting edge amenities that appeal to 18-21 year olds. I think the stadium locker room is meant to give off an all business vibe which it does well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish_Convert 1 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I don't think it looks bad, there are plenty of wood elements that help it look welcoming and the hanging lights have a classic look to them. I am not really a fan of those lime green chairs though, I don't know what the thought process was there. I don't think every single TV needs an image of Knute but since he was key to the original stadium and this season is the "grand reopening", I can see giving him a nod. I'm sure there will be different content rotated through as time goes by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieAngel 602 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 BTW, I may turn Amish, LOVE the horsey's and buggies! I have considered that but my sense of smell is too good. I couldn't take a back east summer surrounded by people covered in ankle length black wool and no deodorant. Hard pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The eND 0 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I had always read that Knute Rockne was always trying to find an edge and the next new thing. He revolutionized the forward pass, right? He wasn't a a guy rooted in the same old ways. All these changes are part of life. Notre Dame has to compete and there are many levels to compete on these days. We are old fudddy duddy old men who shake sticks at clouds. kids love these types of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
