  2. That was in Lemont,Il at the old Thomas Steel,then AuSteel,and finally Slater/Lemont located on New Ave and Ceco Rd.The building still stands,but is no longer a steel plant.It is just across the BNSF tracks.It is now used a warehouse for road salt storage.

    1. I was just working in that area the other day. Do you know the adress on New Ave?

    2. Sorry for the delay on the address,it is 12228 New Ave,the entrance is opposite the Warehouse on Wheels location,go West across the CN tracks and then continue across the BNSF tracks,the plant is right in front of you at that point.

    3. I was working at Thomas Steel when they filmed this.

    4. I did steel mill startups as a young engineer and one of the mills was the caster in Gary IN. The mills in the movie reminded me of older steel mills where I also worked. Good times, hard, proud work.

  3. Rudy's sleeping room is in Notre Dame Stadium. Probably a maintenance room.

  6. The place 'movie-Rudy' slept/climbed into the window would be inside ND stadium today if that exact location is still accessible.

    Here's a pic of the stadium before '97 that shows the same color brick and the 3 window/opening design and would have been how the stadium looked during filming in 1992:

    Here's some pics of the stadium as it stands today. Note the 4th picture that shows people walking around as you can see the outside of the old stadium inside the new stadium:

    Hope it helps and Go IRISH!!!

    1. Thank you for the info. I guessed this was true but I have yet to get inside to take a look for myself to confirm it. When I do I will look for the exact spot to take a picture of it.

      Thanks again for contributing.

  11. I was at an Anaheim Angels, Cleveland Indians baseball game in LA where we Chanted RUDY, RUDY, RUDY for a recording company. This was used at the end of the movie when the crowd was chanting his name to enter the game

  12. The Rudy home is now gone as well as the field the boys played at & the entire area is changed. We went there today to try to piece it together and it was next near impossible.
