TonyStalloni Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I have read but am not sure on NU's policy on soft water bottles being carried in on extremely hot days. Obviously on cooler days they want you to bring cash so you can buy water but when its as hot as it will be saturday will they allow fans to bring in their own? I can't imagine they want people dropping with heat stroke all over the place? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I've only heard of them doing this once, for the 2013 Wyoming game. Otherwise, the policy is that no outside bottled water is allowed. Memorial Stadium policies: The following items are prohibited in Memorial Stadium: Guns, knives, bags larger than security containers, glass, cans, coolers, beverage containers, video cameras, umbrellas and pets. People will be asked to return such items to their vehicles or home. Bags and other items that pass size restrictions are allowed but are subject to search. Plastic water bottles are permitted but may be inspected. Food and beverages from approved game day vendors selling on university grounds are allowed inside the stadium. All other outside food and beverages are prohibited. Certain situations may arise (e.g., extreme heat) that initiate exceptions to this policy. UNL and the Athletic Department will communicate to the public if exceptions will be made. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 It was 2013 Southern Miss, actually. Good question - even if they officially won't let you, I'm sure it's not hard at all to sneak some in. Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Water bottles of alcohol slip in easily enough to the student section, you can sneak in a water bottle to anywhere. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 They don't and it wouldn't be so bad if the vendors didn't stop bringing drinks around 10 minutes into the 3rd quarter. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 O/U on how many people are carried out of the stadium... Quote Link to comment

It was both: Wyoming - Fans Allowed To Bring Bottled Water Into Memorial Stadium Southern Miss - Fans Again Allowed To Bring Bottled Water Into Memorial Stadium Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Update: Mitch Sherman @mitchsherman 3m3 minutes ago Because of the expected heat, fans can carry two 20-ounce bottles of water into Memorial Stadium Saturday ... Make sure it's water. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Start drinking water heavily today and continue until heading to stadium. Slam a Gatorade before you head in and continue drinking water Quote Link to comment

hskerholic Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 this could play huge into Nebraska's favor having family from the mountains of colorado there is no Humidity i can only assume it is the same for the mountains of Utah. With our players being used to the humidity a lot of their players could be cramping a lot earlier. Quote Link to comment

Not sure if they will be gasping for air as much as we think. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 You can bring empty bottles in though. I haven't had issues with that for a couple years. Quote Link to comment
Canesfan01 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Good luck in that Miami humidity Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Good luck in that Miami humidity Will they have to send a tweet to tell your 10 fans they can bring water, or can the players just tell their parents themselves? 1 Quote Link to comment
