LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Notre Dame and Maryland will meet next year at the Washington Redskins stadium.
The schools on Monday announced the game will take place Nov. 12, 2011. Notre Dame will serve as the home team because it already had an agreement with the Redskins for that date.
The two schools have met once before, when the Fighting Irish beat the Terrapins 22-0 in the 2002 Kickoff Classic at Giants Stadium.
The Redskins have been stepping up their effort to host more college football games at their 90,000-seat stadium. They will host Virginia Tech-Boise State in September, and Penn State-Indiana two months later.
The stadium will also be the site for the Army-Navy game in 2011 and Virginia Tech-Cincinnati in 2012.
