Mr. Matthew Bassuener

Matthew is a former professional quarterback who played in the AFL, competed across Europe and South America, and won gold with Team USA at the IFAF World Championship. Nearly 20 relocations taught him what most travel companies miss: where you stay shapes the trip as much as the game itself. So he started designing football-inspired homes in destinations built around how fans actually gather, watch, and celebrate together.

The Property

Welcome to the Rockne Compound, South Bend’s premier luxury estate for large groups, Notre Dame events, family reunions, and unforgettable celebrations. This exclusive property combines two upscale homes side-by-side on the iconic corner of Rockne Drive, just a one-mile walk from Notre Dame Stadium. Accommodating up to 35 guests, the compound provides ample space to relax, celebrate, and connect, with thoughtful amenities designed by a former professional quarterback who knows exactly how to host football families and fans in style.

It was a nice place but the hot tub was cold when we showed up and the the one toilet quit working even after a plumber came out and they didn’t have any gas for the grill. So yeah not the best stay but at least pigskin journeyman was responsive and helpful
