Game tickets- anyone know what the price drops to prior to the game starting?

Stadium seats 60,000

They average about 25,000 attending

Last time NU was there they drew 33,000

Stub hub has crappy tickets for $50. Im guessing tickets will be going for next to nothing prior to the game?

All the hotels in Champaign are booked, but got something good in Peoria- pretty close.

There are still lots of tickets available on their athletic dept website ranging from $35 to $70. Nebraska sideline is on sections 103-107. My ticket was mailed to me within 1 week.

Thanks - much appreciated. 

With 60,000 seats and only 25-30,000 attending, one would think you could buy something out front for less than $70 ?

I got mine a couple months ago for a decent price in the Illini ticket office. I have been to every Husker game in Champaign and we usually have a large crowd there. I believe Section 109 is the official visitor section but NU fans will be spread all over.

A lot of fans tailgate in the open fields where you park. Also they sell beer there now so expect a lot of drinking.

If you want a fun restaurant I would recommend Papa Dels a local pizza place. 

 
Wild ride to get the juices flowin!!!

Brock Huard is the best announcer in College Football. The guy does his homework, he has multiple data points to support his thoughts. He knows the players, coaches and teams inside and out. His analysis is spot on technically- without losing the audience. He doesnt get emotional or take sides and its about football. Love watching him call games- the guy is top notch. Most crews are awful- I will turn the radio on and live with he delay rather than listen to their nonsense.
