LEG 28 · ITEM 2 · RUN B #141 · AT BOUNDARY SIZE — THE SEAT IS NOTRE DAME'S
Five sites carry the campus's fame, and each is famous by a different mechanism; the mechanisms, not the postcards, are the record: The Golden Dome is famous as an icon — the gold-leafed dome of the Main Building, crowned by a 19-foot, 4,000-pound statue of Mary, visible for miles and reproduced as the university's mark on everything it issues; its fame needs no event, only recognizability. "Touchdown Jesus" is famous as an image named from elsewhere — the mural's true title is "The Word of Life" (Millard Sheets; 132 feet high by 65 feet wide, of 81 kinds of stone from 16 countries, on the Hesburgh Library's south face), but the name the world uses was coined from the stadium across the way: the resurrected Christ's raised arms, seen from the north end zone the mural faces, read as a referee's touchdown signal, and the stadium's joke renamed the artwork. Notre Dame Stadium is famous as nationally watched ground — opened in 1930 as "the House that Rockne Built," its fame renewed every autumn Saturday by a national television audience that has watched home games there for generations; the ground is famous because the country keeps looking at it. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart (completed 1888) and the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes (built 1896, at one-seventh the scale of the French shrine it replicates) are famous as pilgrimage sites — their mechanism is devotion in motion: visitors and the faithful come to pray, to attend Mass in the university's church, and to light candles at the Grotto in such numbers that candle-lighting is the site's daily liturgy, the replica drawing the original's pilgrims to Indiana. Icon, renamed image, watched ground, and shrine: four mechanisms, five sites, all at Notre Dame — and none of them on this ground, as item 1 states. Osceola's share of each is the share of any town ten miles east: the dome on its horizon's weather, its people's weddings, funerals, games and pilgrimages — use, not ground.
Verdict, item 2 — DUG (boundary size, mechanisms stated per site).
