'''Legends of Notre Dame''', commonly referred to as Legends, is a [[music venue]], [[public house]], and [[restaurant]] located on the campus of the [[University of Notre Dame]], just 100 yards south of [[Notre Dame Stadium]]. The former Alumni Senior Club<ref name="SAO Website">{{cite news |url=http://sao.nd.edu/venues/legends/ |title=LEGENDS OF NOTRE DAME |work=Student Activities Office, University of Notre Dame }}</ref> opened its doors the first weekend in September 2003<ref name="Legends Observer Article">{{cite news |url=http://www.ndsmcobserver.com/2.2754/legends-meets-expectations-1.276084 |first=Justin |last=Tardiff |title=Legends meets expectations |work=The Observer |date=2009-09-09 }}</ref> after a $3.5 million renovation and transformed into the all-ages student hang-out that currently exists. |
|||
The Legends of Notre Dame Restaurant and Alehouse Pub is a full service, casual dining operation which is open to the public for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday. The nightclub at Legends of Notre Dame, on the other hand, is only open to Notre Dame, [[Saint Mary's College (Indiana)|Saint Mary's College]] and [[Holy Cross College (Indiana)|Holy Cross College]] students and their guests. When the nightclub is not being used for student programming, it is open to be rented for private functions, such as business meetings, receptions, luncheons, and banquets. The club and the associated outdoor area, also called "The Backfield", becomes a popular destination for fans on [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish football|football weekends]]. |
|||
== History == |
|||
Legends of Notre Dame opened in the fall of 2003. Formerly the Alumni Senior Club, the building underwent a 3.5 million dollar renovation and increased by nearly 50% in size. This transformation was made possible largely by a gift from current Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Richard Notebart.<ref name="Richard Notebart Article">{{cite news |url=http://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/8592-richard-c-notebaert-elected-chair-of-notre-damersquos-board-of-trustees/ |first=Dennis |last=Brown |title=Richard C. Notebaert elected Chair of Notre Dame’s Board of Trustees |work=Office of News & Information, University of Notre Dame |date=2007-02-01 }}</ref> The project was directed by Assistant Vice President for Student Activities, M. Brian Coughlin, and Vice President for Student Affairs, Rev. Mark Poorman CSC. |
|||
The idea behind the creation of this venue was to enhance student culture and provide a state-of-the-art facility with national entertainment. At the onset, it was decided that alcohol would never be the focus of any event at Legends, yet the option would be available to those who are of legal drinking age to responsibly consume alcohol in a safe and quality environment.{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}} |

==Structure== |
|||
===Restaurant and Alehouse=== |
|||
The Legends of Notre Dame Restaurant and Alehouse Pub is a full service, casual dining operation which is open to the public for lunch and dinner Monday through Sunday, along with being open for breakfast on football Saturdays in the fall. All proceeds from the restaurant and alehouse pub are used to support social programming for Notre Dame students at Legends. The restaurant features 23 draught beer lines, 70 bottle beer options, a large selection of craft and micro-brews, wine and spirits, a diverse menu, a timeline of Notre Dame sports history, and 14 High-Definition plasma TVs.<ref name="Indiana Beer">{{cite news |url=http://www.indianabeer.com/bars/southbend.html/ |title=South Bend Beer Bars |work=Indiana Beer }}</ref> Executive chef Giuseppe Macerata was featured multiple times on [[South Bend]]'s [[WSJV]] Fox 28 news cooking segment "Wake Up!"<ref name="Observer Article">{{cite news |url=http://www.ndsmcobserver.com/2.2754/legends-chef-appears-on-morning-tv-show-1.265146/ |first=Bridget |last=Keating |title=Legends chef appears on morning TV show |work=The Observer |date=2006-04-27 }}</ref>. |

===Nightclub=== |
|||
The nightclub at Legends of Notre Dame is only open to Notre Dame, [[Saint Mary's College (Indiana)|Saint Mary's College]] and [[Holy Cross College (Indiana)|Holy Cross College]] students and their guests. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night during the academic year the club offers free live entertainment in the form of [[concert]]s, comedy shows, [[nightclub]]s and beyond. There are six events per weekend at Legends featuring live entertainment at 10:00pm and a nightclub at midnight, which can stay open until as late as 4:00 A.M. |
|||
On Thursday nights, Legends hosts low-key events such as “Brew and View” midnight movies, dart tournaments, open pool play, club jazz, [[karaoke]], [[speed dating]], or [[guitar hero]] competitions. On Friday and Saturday nights, a danceclub begins with a [[Disc jockey|DJ]], [[intelligent lighting]], and a party atmosphere. Most every nightclub is attached to a theme, or more specifically to a style of music ([[Salsa music|salsa]], [[reggaeton]], [[hip hop music|hip hop]], [[bhangra]], [[Swing music|swing]], [[country music|country]], etc.) Notable acts that have performed at Legends include [[Young Dubliners]],<ref name="Young Dubliners">{{cite news |url=http://www.ndsmcobserver.com/2.2755/the-young-dubliners-arrive-early-for-st-patty-s-1.255866/ |first=Patrick |last=Griffin |title=The Young Dubliners Arrive Early for St. Patty's |work=The Observer |date=2009-02-27 }}</ref> [[Plain White T's]],<ref name="Plain White T's">{{cite news |url=http://www.livedaily.com/news/12579.html/ |first=Christina |last=Fuoco-Karasinski |title=Second time a charm for Plain White T's 'Delilah' |work=Daily Live |date=2007-08-03 }}</ref> [[Tim Reynolds]],<ref name="Tim Reynolds">{{cite news |url=http://www.ndsmcobserver.com/2.2755/legendary-guitar-master-1.266851 |first=Bob |last=Costa |title=Legendary Guitar Master |work=The Observer |date=2006-01-06 }}</ref> [[Stroke 9]],<ref name="Stroke 9">{{cite news |url=http://www.ndsmcobserver.com/2.2755/stroke-9-evokes-sentimental-emotions-1.269567 |first=Christie |last=Bolsen |title=Stroke 9 evokes sentimental emotions |work=The Observer |date=2005-03-24 }}</ref> [[Ryan Cabrera]],<ref name="Ryan Cabrera">{{cite news |url=http://www.ndsmcobserver.com/scene/ryan-cabrera-still-with-spikey-hair-still-loveable-1.931507 |first=Jordan |last=Gamble |title=Ryan Cabrera Still With Spikey Hair, Still Loveable |work=The Observer |date=2009-11-16 }}</ref> [[Sara Bareilles]], [[Gavin DeGraw]], and [[Matt and Kim]].<ref name="Other artists">{{cite news |url=http://www.ndsmcobserver.com/viewpoint/is-notre-dame-s-cutting-edge-breaking-the-bubble-1.898015 |first=Editorial Board |title=Is Notre Dame's cutting edge breaking the bubble? |work=The Observer |date=2009-11-13 }}</ref> |
