"Notre Dame's book store and gift shop. An amazing assortment of ND logo stuff. Pretty high end, it includes a $10k football helmet encrusted with Swarovski crystals. Seriously."

"I was in the greatest store I've ever been in. Never seen so much Notre Dame stuff in one place. Not bad pricing either. If it isn't in this store, they don't make it. . #1Irishfan."

"WOW! What a fun experience. The visitors center and bookstore here at University of Notre Dame was top notch. Very big, tons of souvenirs and practical stuff, friendly staff. Got all our swag to support the “fighting Irish”, even if we’re not Irish, Catholic, nor have gone to ND. Lol! The visitors center was super as well. With tours on the hour, they hosted us freely and with a smile. Our tour guide was finishing freshman year, totally overjoyed to share with us how great the university is, matched with historical and current day stories. The visitors center is beautiful with minimal information, but enough to give you some reading and see a few items of tradition and value. If you’re in the South Bend, Indiana area, you really need to take the time to do the tour here."
