The University of Notre Dame's iconic football stadium will be flanked by three massive buildings under a $400 million project that will also create nearly 4,000 premium seats at the ''House that Rockne Built.''

John Jenkins, the university's president, called it ''the most ambitious building project in the 172-year history of Notre Dame,'' saying more space was needed to accommodate the university's broadening research activity.
