Notre Dame and Navy to play at New Meadowlands

It's still a year off, but the US Naval Academy announced this week that the 2010 Navy vs. Notre Dame Football game will be played at the New Meadowlands Stadium, home to the Jets and Giants starting after the upcoming 2009 season.

Jets President and CEO Woody Johnson said he is "thrilled that Navy and Notre Dame will be playing their annual game in our new stadium when it opens next year,” and that the new stadium was designed to not only "be our new home but also to bring a variety of spectacular events, including high profile college football matchups..."This is just the first of what we expect to be many announcements of non-NFL events at the stadium and it's a good thing too. The concerts will sell out at Giants Stadium, but old facilities and poor sound turn many would be attendees off. Hopefully that will change in 2010.
