GREAT HALL OF THE CENTURY CENTER

On Thursday evening, June 24, conference attendees and their guests will have the opportunity to enjoy an evening by the St. Joseph River. Enjoy Century Center’s location on a riverfront park in downtown South Bend. Its unique feature is the three-story Great Hall window. Century Center includes an art museum. The College Football Hall of Fame, one of the world’s major sports shrines, connects to the Center by a dramatic concourse filled with the spirit of the sport. The College Football Hall of Fame is designed to put you in the middle of all the action. From your first step onto the Gridiron Plaza, to the moment you exit, you’ll see the sport from every possible angle.

A catered dinner will take place in the Great Hall. After dinner, participants have the option of visiting the neighboring College Football Hall of Fame and/or the South Bend Regional Museum of Art. Admission fees are included. Bus transportation will be provided between the Century Center and the University of Notre Dame.
