caveman99 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 That is cool, I am finally getting back to NE this weekend to take my son to his 1st Husker game. Pretty cool that it is also the 350th sell out. 1 Quote Link to comment

84HuskerLaw Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Last week, I attended the game and hadn't been able to for couple years as living out of state. The announced 'attendance' was about 89 thousand and some odd. I don't know how they total this up but it could not be accurate. The stadium may hold max capacity seating of about 93,000 or so. There were many, many many empty seats all over the place. I would estimate about 10,000 or so. The TV cameras won't show this as people nicely spaced themselves out but I have been to nearly all the home games from 1972 to 2014. This was about as empty as I remember it ever being even on a lousy weather day. We had one when we played OU and Calvin Jones ran wild in the 'ice bowl' (the entire place was one big ice castle and everyone, including the players, should have been wearing skates. But that was understandable. It was an absolutely gorgeous out and attendance was terrible in my view. Tickets sold for around $15 or so outside. 1 Quote Link to comment

The prior week was just over 90,000. Fun fact: Husker attendance exceeded 90K for the first time in 2013. The average attendance last year was just under 90K, with the largest attendance being Iowa game of 90,830. The stadium was far from empty and the attendance was extremely typical. I think you might be losing it in your old age. 3 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 The lowered the capacity last year by 1,100 last year http://www.ketv.com/news/unl-shrinks-memorial-stadiums-capacity-for-better-fan-experience/35182968 And the official attendance count is everyone in the stadium IIRC. Players, ushers, tv crew, concessions, media. Quote Link to comment

Players, ushers, tv crew, concessions, media. I'm really sad that we lowered capacity. Our top 10 games by attendance are going to be lame for awhile. Illinois, Rutgers, Perdon't... at least Miami is in there on top. 1 Quote Link to comment

cornhuskers4ever Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Is this Riley's possible 1st win against Oregon? Being it's the 350th sell out, and if/win Nebraska beats Oregon, Nebraska should dump Gatorade on him or at least give him the game ball and give a Hip Hip.. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't know you but I am pleased to see the return of you all! +1 to Caveman, Husker66, HuskerMav, Drummer7, Mel4red, Cornhusker4ever, for coming back and posting. Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I wish I lived closer but each game is a treat. Guys never take it for granted - it is a special experience. Eat a Runza for me please - make it 2! I'll be watching from Tulsa and the Okla Cornhusker Club. Quote Link to comment
