Read option: Inside Notre Dame's stadium expansion

Notre Dame's $400 million stadium expansion could push capacity over 84,000, according to reports. Early computer generated plans of the expansion show as many as three new buildings go up around the stadium, which are expected to house classrooms, meeting spaces, practice facilities, and a ballroom. 

Ground will be broken once 100 percent of the money for construction is pledged, according to WSBT-TV. 

The question on many Fighting Irish alumni and fans' minds is 'what will change?'

Video monitors will be installed in the stadium, although the school has not elaborated on the details. Here's a look at how the expansion could look, and some feedback from fans and the program, via WSBT.
