Maybe, but I'm beginning to think it isn't....

I'm trying to reconcile these two pictures. It's possible they were taken in the same stadium, but there is enough that doesn't look quite right to make me doubt it.

Strange, there doesn't seem to be one single photograph from that game anywhere, at least that I can find.

The famous overhanging second deck. It wasn't uncommon for a routine fly ball to shallow left field to land in the upper deck--much to the frustration of the left fielder, who would've made an easy catch. This now-familiar double-decked section was constructed after the 1922 season, replacing the "traditional" bleachers that had previously ringed the outfield.

Quarterback Stuhldreher, left halfback Crowley, right halfback Miller and fullback Layden shattered their opponents' defenses beginning in 1922, when coach Knute Rockne created the illustrious lineup. The quartets' secured their fame with ND's 13-7 victory over Army in 1924. After that momentous win, the Irish recorded a 27-10 win over Stanford in the 1925 Rose Bowl and went on to win the national championship with a perfect 10-0 record.
