First game....

[Touchdown Tommie]

Well, I just back from attending my first game in Lincoln. What an unbelievable experience for not only me, but for my wife. The security guards were fantastic with letting us in and walk around in certain areas. On Friday we stopped by the indoor practice facility to see if we would get a look. The security guy said he could not let us in, but there happens to be a garage door open on the other side....I was able to poke my head in and get some pictures before the practice started. On Saturday, we were wandering around the stadium and they let us onto the field (as well as others). One of them even took our picture for us by the tunnel and on the field.

The atmosphere was amazing....nothing like I have ever seen and it was great to finally be there in person to witness the Sea of Red. Even though we were in the "visitors" section...there were probably 40 Baylor fans there, they were pretty good seats.

Overall, great experience and I cannot wait to get down there again for a game!!!!!

It's post like this that let me know how spoiled I was when I was a student at UNL...Never missed a home game for 4 1/2 years!....now that I don't live in Nebraska anymore I'm lucky to even see every game on TV..........

Hope to make it back for the Colorado game (fingers crossed)

You think you're spoiled.....try going to almost every home game since 1997. My dad has season tickets and I rarely miss a game. I go to UNL now so its the same deal. I can't imagine moving out of state on only seeing 1 or 2 home games a year.

Not when she doesn't spend alot of money or nag at me alot. Don't find too many of those walking around and she likes the Huskers, but she doesn't care for Lincoln except for the campus and the stadium.

Mine spends a lot of money and nags me a bit. She loves the Huskers, (and hates on Missouri) - so I stick around.

My wife and I were blessed to be invited back to campus a few weeks ago for an alumni leadership conference.

We attended practice on Thursday before the New Mexico State game and toured the new practice facilities. Awesome!

Did you know in that practice facility EVERY sport can conduct practice? The VB team practices in sand to help their jumping/dig abilities...the softball team was practicing batting practice a few feet from us...even bowling?

Security was tight but gave way when they saw recognized our escort. We saw the new weight room and the new physical treatment rooms (thank heavens only a couple of players were being treated). First class facilities.

We went outside after walking through the tunnel walk and touching the horseshoe and went onto the field for pictures. As if on cue, the rain stopped and our picture opps stopped. Bo had the team on the field within minutes of the sun starting to peek out and chased us off the carpet. Then to watch again the precision the special teams went thru from the sideline was special.

Then off to the 4th floor suites to watch more practice and get a presentation from the compliance department on what 'alumni and fans' can and cannot do regarding contact with potential recruits (NO CONTACT) and other NCAA rules.

Then we walked across the street to the Champions Club to hear a reflection on where we are coming from and going to from AD Tom Osborne was the cherry on top.

Sorry Touchdown Tommie, not trying to hijack your thread...we all have memories whenever we are in that stadium.

I've always wondered about that. What if I experienced a "revelation" and became a Texas or some other team's fan. Some money exchanges hands with 5* recruit. I feel guilty and report my transgression to the NCAA and BAMB - the team gets sanctioned.

I did talk about moving to Lincoln and she put the end to that conversation pretty quickly. She did mention how cool it was on game day....maybe there is a small chance, but it will most likely never happen.
