The night games are helpful so I don't have to get my son out of school, but with 11 AM and an 8 hour drive, he's going to miss some classes as Huskers come first! Someone already posted it - the last three have been. 2018, 2017, and 2016 all had a night game opener. 2015 BYU was 2:30p 2014 FAU was 2:30p 2013 was a night game 2012 Southern Miss was 2:30p 2011 Chattanooga was 2:30p 2010 Western Kentucky was 6:00p 2009 FAU was 6:00p 2008 Western Michigan was 6:00p Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Word is BTN gets two early picks in the "draft" and NU/Iowa was one they went after. They are planning to really make a big deal of the game, bringing their pre-game set to Lincoln and really promoting it (assuming both teams are near the top of the West). 1 Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Normally I don't love 11am games but for the opener it seems ideal. Waiting around all day for the first games sucks! 1 Quote Link to comment
DevoHusker Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The only bad part about 11am opener is the bulk of the game will most likely be scorching hot... at least with night game or even 2:30 start you get some relief from the heat. 1 Quote Link to comment

The hottest times of the day are typically between 2 PM and 5 PM. The earth’s day is like an oven. It takes a while for the day to heat up with the sun. Yes, the sun is most directly overhead between 11 AM and 2 PM, but it’s not the hottest part of the day. Quote Link to comment

I think on the field it actually is, because the field turf is getting more direct sunlight. Due to the design of the stadium and the high West side, I think there is less direct sunlight reflecting off the field. It's easily 10-12 degrees warmer on the field than around it. Either way, it gets hot in Nebraska in August and September. Quote Link to comment

Alabama game is not surprisingly at 11am, but the rest - great times. Northern Illinois at 7pm is gonna be a bloodbath. Nobody has forgotten that loss. I hope they win 55+ - 0 Quote Link to comment
