The Tickets: They're all sold-with this game marking the 117th sellout in the last 135 games involving Notre Dame, including the first 10 games of 1998 and all 10 in 1999.



Pitt Stadium's Curtain Call: Pittsburgh will play its final game ever at Pitt Stadium, the Panthers' football home since 1925, when it hosts Notre Dame Nov. 13. Following this season, the stadium will be razed, making way for a new basketball and student recreation venue-the Petersen Events Center. The Panthers will move into the city's new downtown football stadium for the 2001 season. (Three Rivers Stadium will serve as an interim home in 2000.)
