The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team is the intercollegiate football team representing the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, Indiana, north of the city of South Bend, Indiana. The team plays its home games at the campus' Notre Dame Stadium, which has a capacity of 77,622. Notre Dame is one of four schools that competes as an Independent at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level; however, they play five games a year against opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), of which Notre Dame is a member in all other sports except ice hockey.[5]
The Fighting Irish are among the most prestigious college football teams of all-time. Since their inaugural season in 1887, Notre Dame has won 11 consensus national championships, including 8 from the major wire-service (AP, Coaches'),[6]and has an additional 11 unclaimed co-national champions for a total of 22.[7] Seven Notre Dame players have won the Heisman Trophy. Notre Dame has 945 official victories, with an additional 21 being controversially vacated by the NCAA in 2016 for self-reported academic misconduct.[8] Notre Dame has had 22 undefeated seasons including 12 perfect seasons.[9] Notre Dame home games have been televised by NBC since 1991.[10][11]
