Huskers Fans,
My friends and I are currently on what started as a 12 year trip, now a 13 year trip, to attend a football game at every Big 10 school, plus Notre Dame. So far we have visited Northwestern, Notre Dame, Purdue and Penn State.
Our random drawing this year is bringing us to Lincoln to see the Nebraska vs. Michigan State game on October 29.
I'm hoping the Nebraska fans can help us out. When we take our trip, we like to have the whole game weekend experience. So, we are looking for suggestions as to how we can fully enjoy the weekend.
What are the places to stop at on Friday night / Saturday before the game / Saturday after the game? Sights? Bars? Campus spots? Are there any must eat restaurants or foods? On game day, is there good tailgating or are the parking lots just a place to park your car? Laugh if you must at the last question, but the only good tailgating we've found so far was Penn State.
We are staying in Gretna, but we are expecting to be in Lincoln most of the time we are there - unless someone mentions a must stop in Omaha.
For your information, we are fans of the home team when we travel. The only exception will probably be when we choose Ohio State.
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advanced.
