Notre Dame welcomes the Southern California football team this Saturday, continuing the 85-year storied rivalry.\u00a0 When the teams are both doing well, as they are this year, the excitement is palpable as fans flock to campus days before the game.\u00a0 With the anticipation of another great match-up, tickets are often hard to come by.<\/p>\n

Demand for tickets for high-profile games is nothing new at Notre Dame.\u00a0 In his capacity as Football Coach and Athletic Director, Knute Rockne often ended up playing ticket manager.\u00a0 The Athletic Director records<\/a> contain the occasional ticket request from celebrities.\u00a0 Rockne sold tickets to Babe Ruth [UADR 18\/138<\/a>] and Lou Gehrig [UADR 12\/31<\/a>].\u00a0 However, former Notre Dame football player Curley Lambeau of the Green Bay Packers was a bit late in his request and Rockne was unable to fulfill his request for a sold-out game in 1927 [UADR 14\/116<\/a>].<\/p>\n

Some of the more colorful requests came from two famous cartoonists of the time\u00a0requesting football tickets to the November 26, 1927, Notre Dame vs. Southern California (USC) game at Soldier Field in Chicago:<\/p>\n
