Notre Dame sellout streak expected to end at 273 games

Notre Dame's streak of 273 home sellouts is expected to end with Saturday's game against Navy, according to the school.

The streak -- the second-longest active run to Nebraska's 373, according to the South Bend Tribune -- dates back to the final game of the 1973 season, when Notre Dame beat Air Force on Thanksgiving Day in a game that was moved from Saturday to accommodate an ABC telecast. Notre Dame Stadium then had a capacity of 59,075 and the turnstile count was 57,236. The current capacity is 77,622.

Navy's ranked...how is this game not sold out?

I guess the preview of the run defense against TSUN wasn't encouraging.

So is ND (they are #16), wouldn't you think that some of the people that bought tickets and/or were closed out of the last 273 games would want to see this game?

In reality, the cold weather and national TV coverage (ND's NBC contract) are probably the major reasons.
