Gameday at Nebraska is phenomenal…something I relish.

The tailgating isn’t great b/c we’re such an urban campus and there’s very little parking (plus our fans have jobs that prevent them from showing up on wednesday). But there is some, you just have to pay for the spots for the season - it’s one area I’ll admit that we can’t match the SEC.

But house parties and the bars and various spots around town all make up for the se of tailgating. Starting on Friday night people start pouring into Lincoln. There are a number of hot spots that people hit every week, at the same time. The marching band goes to a couple of restaurants on Friday night, and then on saturday makes their way through most of the bars downtown. Gradually more than 80000 fans make their way to Memorial stadium I’m not sure the exact total b/c we have a new addition that was just finished for this season, but I’m thinking it’s going to be about 83000, all dressed in red, and various “corn” apparel.

80000+ means that the stadium the THIRD LARGEST CITY in the STATE on gamedays.
