Summary
Nearly 150,000 visitors are expected in South Bend this weekend, prompting Notre Dame-area police to add officers, drones and mobile security units ahead of Saturday’s Miami matchup.
Eddy Street Commons is getting extra patrols and off-duty law enforcement after violence on past game days raised concerns about crowd control around tailgating and other events.
Indiana State Police also warned of heavy traffic, urging drivers on the Indiana Toll Road to use exits 72, 77 and 83, drive sober and watch for pedestrians before the 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
Notre Dame has added temporary fencing near the Raclin Murphy Museum and other south campus areas to protect sculptures and channel foot traffic as local and state agencies coordinate security.
