SOUTH BEND, Ind.— The City of South Bend is already lit up as the Fighting Irish prepare to take on The Ohio State Buckeyes.

Across campus Friday afternoon ABC57 was already seeing green.

Players will wear green jerseys for the big game, fans of course will be decked out as well, and they’ll sport one new accessory for the first time.

Fans from all over the country swarming to campus, as they gear up for one of their biggest games of the year.

"There's a lot of foot traffic already and a lot of green already, so, we can't wait for tomorrow,” said Assistant Athletic Director Don Scott.

But even amidst the sea of green you’ll still spy some red.

"If you’re lucky enough to get a ticket, we know it's been the hottest ticket of the year for college football, once you come to the stadium these wristbands will be placed on your seat,” said Scott.

The light up LED wristbands will make fans part of the show, and light up Notre Dame Stadium in sync with several game day traditions.

Assistant Athletics Director, Don Scott, tells us we may even see them synchronize to music with the marching band or the 1812 overture.

"When we score touchdowns, they are going to light up the sky Notre Dame green,” added Scott.

Fans may have seen the technology at other events including a variety of concerts and big games.

“I know Taylor Swift had them, I think. But this will be our first time,” said Notre Dame fan Mary Papalia.

But they’ve never seen Notre Dame stadium like this, it's their first time using the technology and you won’t want to trade, since they are specially programmed for each seat.

"Especially being a night game, I feel like there's something special about Notre Dame and South Bend and it’s really going to help with that vibe’” Papalia added.

The wristbands wouldn’t be possible without the Rockne Athletic Fund. All fans will get one, and if you look closely on the wristband, you’ll see this QR Code that will give you 20% off at the bookstore and enter you to win a number of memorabilia prizes.
