The imminent off-site home games for Notre Dame could be taking shape. Notre Dame and Maryland are close to a deal to meet at FedEx Field in 2011, a source confirmed to the Tribune on Tuesday, though nothing is yet finalized.
If that matchup indeed is consummated, the location would not be a surprise. The Washington, D.C., area and Chicago remain the leading candidates to host Notre Dame's annual traveling home game in 2011 and 2012.
Should the Irish-Terrapins game come off for '11, then Soldier Field very well could be hosting Notre Dame some time the following season.
InsideMDSports.com first reported the potential Notre Dame-Maryland matchup. FedEx Field -- located in Landover, Md. -- is the 91,000-plus seat home of the Washington Redskins.

With a name like Ndsucks, why do you care?
Go root for your alma mater, if you have one that plays football. Va Tech plays Maryland every year and people think they are as good as anybody. With everything going on in the world, take the advice your grandma gave you (or should have)- if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all (or in terms you would understand- shut the f- up!)
