The University of Notre Dame will play its 2025 "Shamrock Series" game against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, wearing uniforms inspired by the Green Bay Packers. The game, scheduled for September 6, 2025, marks the first time the Fighting Irish have played at the historic NFL venue, according to an official announcement from the university.
Notre Dame’s Lambeau Field Uniform Design
The Fighting Irish are collaborating with Under Armour to create a custom uniform specifically for the matchup at the home of the Packers. While the university has not yet released the full aesthetic details, the design is intended to pay homage to the venue’s professional football heritage.
Notre Dame’s "Shamrock Series" is a recurring event where the team plays a home game at a neutral site, often in iconic stadiums across the country. Previous iterations of the series have taken place in venues such as Yankee Stadium, Allegiant Stadium, and AT&T Stadium. According to Notre Dame, the decision to play at Lambeau Field aligns with the program’s history of scheduling games in high-profile professional arenas to engage regional fan bases.
The Significance of the 2025 Matchup
The game represents a significant logistical move for Notre Dame, as the program continues to expand its reach beyond South Bend. Lambeau Field, which opened in 1957, is the oldest continuously operating stadium in the NFL.
For fans of both Notre Dame and the Packers, the game serves as a bridge between college football tradition and professional sports history. Wisconsin, a frequent opponent for the Irish, adds a regional competitive element to the neutral-site contest. The university confirmed that tickets for the event will be managed through the standard Notre Dame athletics ticketing process, with details regarding public access expected to be finalized as the 2025 season approaches.
