For the first time ever, teams will have homefield advantage in the College Football Playoff. The four first-round matchups will be played on campus, and a couple games will be easier to get into than others.
The debut of on-campus playoff games will feature some tremendous atmospheres next weekend. Notre Dame, Penn State, Texas and Ohio State will all host first-round games in some iconic college football venues, which means demand for those tickets will be high in the days leading up to kickoff.
Those trying to get into Notre Dame Stadium to see the Fighting Irish take on the Indiana Hoosiers will have an especially tough time finding tickets. That's because the get-in price for that matchup is a whopping $775, according to StubHub, which is the highest of all the first-round games. Things are a little bit more reasonable for Nittany Lions fans trying to find a spot inside Beaver Stadium.
