Some interesting history in this article but I'll highlight this portion:

Not sure I follow. They aren't going to sell single game tickets because they plan on selling out with season ticket holders. Oregon fans get allotted a certain number that they can buy through their ticket office in the visiter's section. They aren't being required to by Nebraska season tickets to come to see the game. I'm saying the university is requiring husker fans, who want to buy tickets for the Oregon game, to purchase season tickets. They will not be selling single-game tickets for that game, yet single game tickets will be available for all other games. I don't think this is accurate. I logged into my account and tried to purchase single-game tickets. It will let me purchase single-game tickets for the Fresno St., Illinois, Purdue and Maryland games. I can only REQUEST tickets for Wyoming, Oregon and Minnesota. I am fairly certain these tickets are from the visiting-team allotment. They are not expecting to sell all the tickets for those first four games but are waiting to see if Wyoming, Oregon and Minnesota turn back any tickets before opening them up for purchase. I'm pretty doubtful that they'd sell any regular single-game tickets until they've exhausted every avenue to sell them as season-tickets. Here is a response from an email I received from the ticket office, notice the un-bolded section that says the Oregon game will not be sold on a single-game basis. This was after calling the ticket office back in April and walking through the steps to get on the list. What it means, I don't know. Important Information Regarding Your Nebraska Ticket Request Thanks for your interest in Nebraska Football and requesting tickets for the Huskers' match-up with Oregon on September 17. We wanted to let you know that the Oregon game will not be sold on a single-game basis and season tickets are the only way you can be guaranteed a seat to the game for face value. Season tickets are available in all sections and donation levels, including single seats in the end zone at no donation. Per seat donations are up to 80% tax deductible and Nebraska also offers you a three-month payment plan for your donation! Fans can order season tickets by going online to huskers.com/tickets or by calling Nebraska Athletics Development & Ticketing at 800-8-BIGRED (M-F, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.). We look forward to your support of the Huskers and celebrating another sold-out season in 2016 at Memorial Stadium. See you September 3rd at 7 p.m. for the Huskers' opener against Fresno State! GO BIG RED! I don't think that really contradicts what I said, other than the difference between "will not" and probably won't have any available. They might have over-sold it by saying they won't be sold but I would guess they're not expecting to have any to sell.

Not sure that's grammatically correct, but the Grammar Nazi can take it up with them, not me. Link

No winners

May not play this fall

I think the two bolded ones are probably the biggest ones that could be upgraded. Having a better team would obviously be a bigger draw. And I hate sitting on bench seats - having an actual chair is a HUGE difference. But if you have to sit on a bench, at least have enough space to move a bit. Unfortunately the university doesn't have any control over a couple of things on your list.

Eh, that's probably stretching it. Armstrong - 474/878, 54.0%, 6691 yard, 7.6 ypa, 53 TDs, 36 INTs Crouch - 312/606, 51.5%, 4481 yards, 7.39 ypa, 29 TDs, 25 INTs Frost - 192/359, 53.5%, 2677 yards, 7.5 ypa, 18 TDs, 7 INTs Lord - 194/404, 48.0%, 4848 yards, 7.05 ypa, 18 TDs 22 INTs I'd agree with you on Lord - TA is significantly better. TA is also a better passer than Crouch but also running a system that is more passing friendly so I'm not sure it's a huge difference. But TA is almost identical to Frost. Their completion percentage and yards per attempt are very similar. If you adjust Frost's stats to TA's attempt numbers, Frost would have 6531 yards, 44 TDs and 17 INTs - basically the same yards, fewer TDs but a much better TD:INT ratio.

Plus, since Newcombe only played six games in 1998 and Crouch therw over 100 passes that year, it would seem that Crouch actually was playing a decent amount of QB that year. In fact, it would be entirely possible that what I described "actually happened". So, again, you like to find one little thing and make it seem like it means significantly more than it does. Newcombe was hurt that year. He didn't play wingback. He switched positions later in '99 as I recall. It's not one little thing. Your entire original premise was disproved. If you want to argue that he should have been used more in the option game in 2000, that's fine. To me, it's become pretty clear that you were want a solich fan and no amount of facts or other examples or clips would dissuade you from that opinion. That's fine. I won't waste either of our times. You are nowhere near disproving my entire original premise. You've pointed out that I probably had one detail wrong - it wasn't Lance Brown who was the other wingback in the wingbone with Newcombe. You have provided no other facts to disprove my actual assertion that we rarely ran the wingbone option play away from Newcombe and it was also often run to the short side of the field. I'm more than open to actual facts that disprove that. But you have yet to provide any.

Lots of comments about the price of going and being more comfortable at home with your own couch and fridge. So what would it take to get you more interested in attending games. Ohio State is apparently putting forth their answer:
