Orange are 7-1 all-time in the 'House that Ruth Built'
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse football team is headed back to the Big Apple.
Â
The Orange will play Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 17, 2018 in their final non-conference game next season, it was announced today. The game is part of the Irish's Shamrock Series.
Â
"Yankee Stadium is one of the great venues in all of sports," Syracuse head football coach Dino Babers said. "To play a fantastic opponent like Notre Dame in that building, closer to home, I think is exciting for our fans. As coaches and players, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience and something we're very much looking forward to."
Â
Syracuse has a rich history of success at Yankee Stadium. The Orange are 7-1 all-time at the ballpark, including beating the Irish 14-7 on Thanksgiving Day in 1963, less than a week after President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Led by fullback Jim Nance and quarterback Rich King, the Orange outgained Notre Dame, 386-176. King passed for 178 yards and threw the winning touchdown to Mike Koski with 3:28 remaining.
 Â
In addition to its victory against Notre Dame, Syracuse's Yankee Stadium triumphs include a 3-0 win against Pittsburgh on Oct. 20, 1923 in the first football game ever played at the old stadium. Most recently, the Orange captured a pair of New Era Pinstripe Bowl championships at the new stadium, beating Kansas State 36-34 in 2010 and West Virginia 38-14 in 2012.
Â
Notre Dame holds a 5-3 advantage in the all-time series with Syracuse. The Orange's last victory against the Irish came in 2008 at Notre Dame Stadium, 24-23.
Â
Next year's matchup marks third consecutive neutral-site meeting in the series. The two most recent pairings, both won by the Irish, occurred in 2014 and 2016 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Â
Syracuse's 2018 schedule includes non-conference games against Western Michigan, Wagner and Connecticut, in addition to Notre Dame. The Orange open the campaign at Western Michigan on Sept. 1. The ACC portion of the schedule is expected to be announced by the conference after the first of the year.
