Hooked on Huskers Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Still a chance? Rumors? Perfect fit in B1G conference. I bet ice hockey will be more attendees than basketball. 113,411 attendance! Could be our Memorial Stadium someday! Upper deck was closed (ice hazard?) thus "only" 55,000 people Quote Link to comment
Bradr Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Probably no one this one. The one at TD Ameritrade was terrible. I had some of the best seats available and couldn't see a damn thing. Hockey isn't meant to be seen from that far away Quote Link to comment

Baseball field fit in Memorial Stadium? 200' homerun fence? Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 As much as I'd like the Huskers to have a hockey team, it's going to be a bit tough. You've got a pretty good team in UNO, several established programs in the region, and I think recruiting would be difficult unless you had amazing facilities and a top tier coach.

StPaulHusker Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think the biggest issue getting in the way is having to bring in other non-revenue generating sports to offset it due to Title IX Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Won't happen. Too many obstacles in the way. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 "Husker Hockey". I think it has a great ring to it. I'd totally get into that. Quote Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 http://www.huskerhockey.com/ Nice. Also if you look under recruiting it looks like the team is officially recognized as being a Divison III team somehow. Interesting. Quote Link to comment
Michiganball Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I would really like to see that little N on a hockey helmet. Considering the way BIG is trying to brand itself all over the place, I wouldn't be surprised if they created some incentives for schools to get their programs going. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 go ahead and give me hell, but if the Huskers got a hockey team, they'd still be playing second to my Fighin' Sioux... Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I don't think the U of N Regents would approve a hockey team for UNL, because it could really hurt the UNO hockey program. The UNO hockey program is the big revenue earner for their sports programs, so I don't see how the Regents would agree to something that would significantly damage UNO. 1 Quote Link to comment
