— -- The Notre Dame leprechaun will get to dance an Irish jig in the shadow of the Green Monster when the Fighting Irish play  Boston College at Fenway Park in the 2015 season.

The Irish, who released their football schedules for 2014 through 2016 on Friday, will be visiting one of America's classic ballparks as part of the team's Shamrock Series, which will also take Notre Dame to Indianapolis (2014) and San Antonio (2016).

Notre Dame's night game at the home of the  Boston Red Sox on Nov. 21, 2015, is the most noteworthy of the 36 games announced by the school Friday. It will be the first football game at Fenway Park since Dec. 1, 1968, when the NFL's Boston Patriots played their last game there after five seasons. Boston College played its home games there from 1914 to 1956. Texas and open at the Longhorns in 2016.

Swarbrick said a priority moving forward is trying to add a Southeastern Conference opponent to the schedule. He said that's difficult, however, because Notre Dame only has one open spot in its schedule for a road game and that is filled through the 2020 season.
