(Michigan City, IN) - The Indiana University football team will stay overnight in La Porte County before their playoff game at the University of Notre Dame. Jack Arnett, Executive Director of the La Porte County Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the team has booked hotel rooms at Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City.
“They’ve already confirmed. They’ve locked everything in,” he said.
During the regular season, Arnett said local hotels are already busy for Notre Dame home games. He expects them to be even busier for this game following Indiana's storybook season and the in-state storyline for this first-round matchup in the new College Football Playoff format.
“That brings a pretty good entourage of following of fans that want to be around all of the hoopla. So, the fact the team is coming up and staying here, is probably going to add quite a few room nights,” he said.
The game between the Hoosiers and Fighting Irish is scheduled December 20th at 7 p.m. (central time).
