Notre Dame! How did you guess? How do you do it? The exterior photo above is of O&#8217;Neill Hall, a building they&#8217;ve just recently opened after a $25 million dollar gift that helped change everything about the football stadium. Which is why I&#8217;m visiting. I&#8217;m taking a tour of their new television facilities. They have a gorgeous new setup and it is being used for classes, athletics and for the church. It is a unique situation Notre Dame has, of course, and it sounds like they are putting a great strategy together. <\/p>\n<p>When you hear about 4K or HDR shoots, it is probably coming through a camera like this.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/oct17\/oct13.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a pretty nice multiview you have there, Irish. This is one of a handful of control rooms that are are all tied together. They built out a quality facility:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/oct17\/oct14.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It was a nice day trip. We had breakfast, heard about how they built their gear out, enjoyed a fire alarm, had lunch, took a tour of their new production facilities and then it is time to get back on the road. <\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, I&#8217;ve now enjoyed two fire alarms in two college buildings on two college campuses within 24 hours. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this is an exterior shot of the famed Notre Dame Stadium:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/oct17\/oct15.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Apropos of all of that, you can see the highlights from my previous trip to South Bend <a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/wordpress\/blog\/2011\/10\/08\/\">here<\/a> and <a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/wordpress\/blog\/2011\/10\/09\/catching-up-39\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was such a lovely, gray day in South Bend that I took a walk in some of the off-campus touristy areas. And I saw this:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/oct17\/oct16.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>You lose two shoes, well, that&#8217;ll happen. You lose one shoe, that&#8217;s a story.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I discovered that they have Limebike. No locks or bike mounting system necessary. They charge $1 per ride and, like a good pusher, your first ride free.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/oct17\/oct17.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>On the way back, I stopped off at IKEA. It was their opening day. I went to IKEA during the grand opening. <\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t as bad as Christmas shopping, to be honest. And I managed to pick up all three things I wanted. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where am I? One last clue from earlier this morning: OK, one more clue: Yes! Notre Dame!
