FROM INDIANA PUBLIC BROADCASTING
With only a day until Notre Dame and Indiana face off in the College Football Playoff, fans are ready to celebrate—but police are urging caution.
The 8 p.m. game Friday is expected to bring thousands, not just to the stadium, but to bars, restaurants, neighborhoods, and streets.
With safety in mind, on Wednesday city, county and campus police held a press conference at Notre Dame Stadium. Traffic handling won’t change from regular home games, and tailgating, like always, won’t be allowed during the game but will be allowed before and after.
However, campus police won’t allow open flames, propane, or charcoal for those tailgaters. Temperatures are expected to dip into the 20s with snow in the forecast.
To ease traffic congestion, the university has asked non-essential employees to work remotely on Friday.
