The Yankee haters will have another reason to hate the team: Yankee Stadium will host Notre Dame vs. Army. Looks like Hal is trying to please the old man:

Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said on Monday that the club is happy to return college football to their stage in the Bronx and that his father, George Steinbrenner, is also very enthusiastic about the plans for the game.

So many people hate the Yanks. Probably a number close to that also hate Notre Dame. Put them together and you will have a ton of ‘haters’ ready to bark. At least the Yanks have been relevant in recent years.

Speaking of the Irish playing at Yankee Stadium, maybe this sparks a memory:

The original Yankee Stadium played host to the famed 1928 “Win one for the Gipper” matchup between Army and Notre Dame, which resulted in a 12-6 Irish victory. The game was scoreless at halftime, when Notre Dame head coach Knute Rockne gave his famous speech — later captured on celluloid by actor Ronald Reagan — in the locker room.
