Fenway Park hosts Notre Dame Club for fan fest

BOSTON, Mass. --- Before the Fighting Irish face Boston College, Notre Dame fans brought their school spirit to one of America’s most famous ballparks.

The Notre Dame Club of Greater Boston hosted a fun Fan Fest at Fenway Park with lobster rolls, Fenway Franks, and ice cream served in Red Sox helmets. Fans also got to explore behind the Green Monster, learning secrets of the historic park.

The guest of honor was General Bryan Fenton, a Notre Dame alum and the Commanding General of U.S. Special Operations Command, who once worked as a football team manager at ND. It was part of a much larger Irish community effort, as there are 261 Notre Dame clubs across the country helping fans stay connected wherever game day takes them.

The night started with a Fenway tour at 5 p.m., followed by the main event at 6. Fans were treated to a surprise visit from the Notre Dame cheerleaders and the Irish Leprechaun mascot, who brought even more energy to the crowd.

The evening wrapped up with a no host social at The Dubliner, keeping the Irish celebration going in Boston. Tickets came with two drink passes, priced at $75 for ND Club members, $125 for nonmembers, and $25 extra for the tour.

From the Green Monster to The Dubliner, it was a night full of Boston pride, Irish spirit, and good food before tomorrow’s big game.

Looking ahead, Notre Dame takes on Boston College at 3:30 p.m. in Chestnut Hill Saturday.
