Also outdoors at Library Quad, and Eddie Street Commons.

...to get into pep rallies if it is in the JACC. On it's face it's not a problem, but the tickets are distributed mid-afternoon on Friday (I want to say 3 or 4 PM). Not sure if this is still being done (or if all pep rallies are now in the stadium) as I haven't been to a pep rally in years. However, just wanted to put that out there in case they do put the rallies in the JACC as another thing to look into... My guess is they'll be in the stadium due to concerns about COVID (if they happen at all).

Those rallies were quite memorable
Hot, sweaty, loud, crowded, and a little off-color to boot. "Screw Purdue!" was the cheer of choice. At age 10, I didn't know why my father wouldn't let me join in that cheer. Pat O'Brien did his "Win One for the Gipper" routine and brought down the house.
The '77 USC rally (my soph year) also remains etched in my memory, but it's the only subsequent 1 I ever attended that approached that kind of passion and intensity.
That might change your travel plans, as many hotels make you book Friday and Saturday nights.
I would not assume they will be held. If they are, one suspects they will be outdoors rather than in the Purcell Pavilion. The ND Game Day site for Football Fridays is linked and says “Information coming soon”. But my recollection is 6 pm and open to all historically.
