In my month of posts, I'm pulling a top ten term from Google Trends (when there's nothing else to write about) and taking a look at current merchandise offered online.
Today is the 120th football season opener for Notre Dame University. They're playing San Diego State in South Bend, Indiana.
Other facts about Notre Dame's Stadium you might not know:
- Today's game was the 400th game inside the house that Rockne built.
- The stadium’s first game was in October of 1930 when Knute Rockne guided the team to victory over SMU.
- Today is also the 200th consecutive sellout of Notre Dame Stadium.
- Every seat has been sold since the 1973 Air Force game.
- Fifteen head coaches have led the Irish through the tunnel and onto the field.
- Only eight road teams have won their first game inside Notre Dame Stadium.
Since I grew up about 30 miles from there, I thought I'd dig into what can be found both on eBay and on Amazon. Take a look at the difference in the merchandise on the two sites. eBay has the collectibles and hard to find items, such as game tickets. Amazon has the more common commodity products. Both good. But where will you sell?

Hi Dee,
I grew up in Eau Claire, Michigan. Then lived in St. Joseph / Benton Harbor. I’ve lived in California for most of the last 18 years.
Hey, where did you grow up? I live about 20 miles from Notre Dame/South Bend. I will have to watch for ND items….
