It is true that "the product" used to be great, as El Kabong said. It is also true that Kelly and Swarbrick are wreaking havoc on it.

He doesn't say that the product was great when Swarbrick took over.

That said, the PRODUCT is not simply wins and losses. The product is the ND home game experience. The stadium has been further bastardized into something not unique to Notre Dame, catering to fat cats and corporate tents. The field is no longer grass. There's a jumbotron, and despite Swarbrick and Jenkins scowling at skeptics who thought the TRON would become loud and tasteless, the skeptics were proved correct.

The product is also more and more expensive. I could go on.

A Notre Dame game in 2009 was a different and better experience in many ways than a game in 2021.
