The University of Notre Dame football team announced on Wednesday, Feb. 14, details of the 2024 edition of the “Shamrock Series,” which will return to Yankee Stadium on November 23, with the “Fighting Irish” college football team taking on their longtime rival, Army.

 

The Army Black Knights football team, previously known as the Army Cadets, represents the United States Military Academy, a Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

 

According to an announcement by Yankee Stadium officials, this year marks the 100th anniversary of the fabled Four Horsemen backfield of Jim Crowley, Elmer Layden, Don Miller and Harry Stuhldreher, and the game in which they were immortalized by Grantland Rice in the New York Herald Tribune, a 13-7 upset victory over Army on Oct. 18, 1924, at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan.

 

The 2024 game will be broadcast nationally on NBC and Peacock and marks the third Shamrock Series game to be played at Yankee Stadium. In 2010, Notre Dame defeated Army, 27-3, and in 2018, the third-ranked Fighting Irish defeated 12th ranked Syracuse, 36-3.

 

Ticket information for the game will be released at later date, Yankee Stadium officials said.
