Big news of the day is a reported matchup between the Irish and Army to be played at Yankee Stadium (The House That Ruth Didn't Build). A blog called Road to Game Day, which I have never heard of, is reporting that "sources close to RTGD" are saying that the game will be played in 2010. RTGD also says that an official press release should be coming from the Boogie Down any time now.
RTGD believes this will be the barnstorming game for the 2010 season, though he/they/it can't be sure. Notre Dame is aiming to have their "barnstorming" matchups at neutral sites, but Army plays close to THE city, so it could go either way. I will reiterate the point I made last time this idea was brought up. This is fine if the game is an away matchup, but it's a terrible idea if the Irish have to give up a home game for this to happen. I love the Yankees, but this is not THE Yankee Stadium, it's just another spaceship of a ballpark with too many luxury suites and not enough history. Furthermore, there is no better place to play a game than in South Bend, Indiana on a fall afternoon. Do you seriously want to compare the Notre Dame campus to the Bronx?

I do agree that this game should be an AWAY game, but it's certainly not the worst idea ever. This matchup is drenched in history! Just imagine the money ABC is going to shell out for this primetime event! Free recruiting! It won't be just another 3:30PM NBC game that recruits skim through.
You shouldn't even be reporting this, because it does not come from a reliable source. This is how stupid rumors get started. Next someone is going to quote you, and so on and so on
