The storied college football rivalry between Army and Notre Dame will take place in the Bronx for the first time in over 40 years on November 20, 2010.  The two teams have squared-off a total of 49 times with 22 of those games played at the former Yankee Stadium.  The game played in new Yankee Stadium will mark the 50th contest in a series which Notre Dame holds a commanding lead (37-8-4).

“Any student of Notre Dame football history knows the meaning of the Notre Dame-Army rivalry and, in particular, the history of that rivalry at Yankee Stadium,” said Notre Dame athletics director Jack Swarbrick. “It’s fitting that a Notre Dame-Army game will be the first football event in this fabulous facility – and it’s also fitting that the 50th meeting in this great rivalry will take place in a venue with such great tradition for both programs.”
