Years ago, the pioneers of O’Neill Hall set into motion a chain of events which would come to change game days forever. They had a dream so ambitious, so bold, that they needed an LLC to achieve it. They dreamt that no Notre Dame student should ever be without a gameday headquarters. How would they ensure this, you ask? Well, they purchased an old school bus, and then, they turned it into something much greater: the greatest tailgate in the history of our lady’s university.

The Bus experienced unprecedented tailgating success for many years, with thousands of attendees each football season. Unfortunately, as Tommy Rees once said so quaintly, “All good things must eventually come to an end.”

From the Battle of Hamm’s Deep to the Willis Street Exile of 2017, through countless raging parties, our Bus has endured a worse beating than anything this side of the Mississippi; that is, other than the teams The Bus got to witness beat down by the Irish. It bore the heavy burden of hosting South Bend’s largest gameday gathering not because anybody asked it to. Nay, it carried this cross out of a commitment to rage. Although the original Bus died last year when mechanics claimed it was no longer “Street Legal,” the IDEA of the Bus lives on forever in our hearts.

Now, it is our turn to take this cross, and proudly proclaim our commitment to rage. The men of O’Neill are bringing The Bus back and better than ever, and we need your help.

If you love the Irish and dream of a world where a yellow beacon of hope shines across the verdant plains of Innovation Park, then please consider donating to bring back the bus.

Note:
Funds will be withdrawn to The Bus, LLC's new bank account. The money will then be used to purchase the new Bus, maintenance and repairs, legal registration and insurance, parking passes, and of course future event costs.
For now, the funds are being withdrawn into a temporary personal bank account we set up at ND Credit Union. This personal account will be utilized to withdraw funds until the LLC is finalized. These funds will go towards the purchase of the new Bus, plus insurance and registration. Once the LLC is finalized, a new bank account will be set up in the LLC's name, and the funds will be transferred there.
The Bus, LLC is owned by the Seniors of O'Neill, lead by Andrew Bub (President).
