On November 23, 2024, nearly 500 people visited “The Fighting Irish in New York City: A Conversation with Curators and Archivists” on display at the New York Yankees Museum prior to the kickoff of the Shamrock Series game. The exhibit highlighted historical football-related materials from the University of Notre Dame Archives and Rare Books and Special Collections in the Hesburgh Libraries.
