Memorial Stadium Could Host High School Regular Season Games

Seriously doubt it would ever be a money maker, but it certainly could instill interest into the Program at very young age. the stadium belongs to the people of the state so to speak. I would think nothing but positives could come from it. Glad Eichorst is thinking somewhat out side the box.

 

You could use it to schedule major high school games with out of state opponents from Kansas, Colorado, Iowa and Missouri. The old beast could be quite a draw for recruiting. If they opened up the locker rooms and let the kids see what is available at the next level close to home has to be good.

This would make a bit of sense. Let them play in Memorial earlier Friday or Saturday to help get the games rescheduled.

 

Eichorst -- Dear Lincoln high schools, we are sorry that the Big Ten scheduled a Nebraska game on Friday night this season. We understand that your student-athletes, parents, and fans will be conflicted with having a game on that Friday night. Please feel free to reschedule your Friday night games on Thursday, Friday afternoon, or Saturday at Memorial Stadium. We vow not to play any more Friday night games in the future, especially in Lincoln. Thank you.

Classy move by UNL. With the money truck that keeps pulling up to the Athletic Department, this will not be a big deal to them financially.

Yes, I guess it could be considered a classy move, but I am sure Eichorst was hearing from plenty of high school coaches and AD's after the Friday night games were announced last year. Eichorst didn't have to do this, and it is a good mea culpa to the area high schools.
