A seat in the nose bleed section will cost about $200, and the lower end zone is running about $250 each.
Georgia Tech will be without three starters on Saturday against Duke.
When Meghan Doyle signed up to play women’s soccer for the University of Notre Dame, she knew what she was getting into with the school.
“Nobody was really around me, so I was screaming out cross”, Lachowecki said.
“He’ll have to get acclimated as the game wears on”, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said.

The first month of college football has been as insane a month there has ever been. A 28-year veteran of Notre Dame food services and an acclaimed culinarian in higher education market, Miller will be preparing a menu consisting of traditional Irish cuisine – keeping true to the “Fighting Irish” mascot – and other student favorites, including: Patty’s Salad (Amish salad), Guinness lamb stew, Irish soda bread, Irish bangers with sweet “n” sour cabbage, gnocchi with summer squash, shiitake, cherry tomatoes and pesto, fish and chips, and Guinness chocolate cupcakes.

It’s been almost two years since Clemson lost at home, and it won’t be easy for Notre Dame to break the Tigers’ current streak.
“That’s their business”, said Swinney, whose team plays Notre Dame on Saturday.
Recently, though, Doyle got to be up close for another great moment in Notre Dame athletics. It’s local, but offers a national platform.
Four games into the season, Kelly is still feeling his way through player development on both sides of the ball.
This season is shaping up to be great, and I can’t wait for the rest of it, but there’s just something nagging at me.
