Doesn't the SS game take up an "away game" slot?

I thought the Shamrock Series games often fit into a kind of a two for one deal, where the opponent agreed to a home-and-home-and-Shamrock, with ND controlling the Shamrock Series game. For instance, next season there are seven home games, four road games, and now the Shamrock Series game. 2026-28 all have four road games at this time, although I don't know who controls all of the non-on-campus games.

This season didn't have a Shamrock Series game, but did have five away games, with Navy and Georgia Tech playing their home games off campus.

Also, I get the impression that ND is currently pretty close to the demand line on home game attendance. Meaning that adding another home game is more likely to create shortages for the other games than add a lot more butts in seats.
