If you know us, you know we are OBSESSED with a good theme. So when we found out this year’s Notre Dame University Relations (UR) Summit (a fun family party for ND staff before students come back to school) was at Notre Dame Stadium, we knew a sports theme and design were absolutely the way to go. We took over the concourse on the west side of the stadium, dressing the Navarre Hospitality staff in referee stripes and posing them as “food vendors.” Throughout the space, we hit just about every major sport… basketball, baseball, football (complete with a faux tailgate inside the concourse!) and soccer. Since fun table settings and food usually aren’t enough to keep kids entertained, we also set up several bouncy houses on the football field. Scroll on to see the magic!
