The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will open their 2022 college football season in what is widely considered one of the most hostile environments in college football when they travel to Ohio Stadium to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. But one player doesn’t seem overly impressed by the massive stadium.
According to Notre Dame beat writer Tyler Horka, Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer doesn’t think playing in Ohio Stadium will be any different than playing in any other stadium, saying he’s “not worried about it.”
Notre Dame TE Michael Mayer on playing at Ohio State’s Horseshoe in Week 1: “I don’t think it’s any different than the other stadiums we’re going to be playing in this year. To me, it’s like, ‘home game, away game, just go play football.’ I’m not worried about it.”

“I don’t think it’s any different than the other stadiums we’re going to be playing in this year,” Mayer said. “To me, it’s like, ‘home game, away game, just go play football.’ I’m not worried about it.”
So while Mayer may be worried about playing in Ohio Stadium for the season opener, it will almost certainly be the largest crowd he ever plays in front of in his life.
