Anyone going? I thought I might do this to get my Husker fix for the weekend and check out my new seats.

Meet the Huskers Set for Sept. 27th

Lincoln – The University of Nebraska Athletic Department invites fans to get their first look at the 2013-14 Huskers on Friday, Sept. 27, as the Nebraska men’s basketball program will hold an open scrimmage for the public inside Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Sept. 27 marks the first day programs around the country can practice for the upcoming season, and the Huskers will scrimmage from 7-8 p.m. at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The event is free and open to all fans, as the 2013-14 team will be introduced prior to the scrimmage, while Head Coach Tim Miles will provide live commentary throughout the event. All seating for the scrimmage is on a first-come, first-seated basis, and gates will open at 6 p.m. that evening.

In addition, Sports Nightly will broadcast live from Pinnacle Bank Arena during the event, while fans will be able to check out the new facility and concessions stands will be open throughout the evening. Following the event, the Huskers will hold a team autograph session.

The event will provide a chance to see Nebraska’s nine returning letterwinners, including starters Ray Gallegos, Shavon Shieldsand David Rivers, but it marks the Husker debut for a host of newcomers, including sophomores Terran Petteway and Walter Pitchford, who sat out last year because of transfer rules. In addition, fans can see Nebraska’s 2013 recruiting class, including junior college transfer Leslee Smith and freshmen Nick Fuller, Nathan Hawkins, Tai Webster and Tim Wagner. Nebraska’s other newcomer is junior college transfer Deverell Biggs, who redshirted during the 2012-13 campaign.

 
I'm guessing there will be a considerable amount of fans there........especially since Miles will be introducing players and providing commentary during the scrimmage.

I already checked out my seats during the open house, but plan on being there Friday with some friends as well.

 
TV would be nice. I missed the open house- but I am looking forward to hearing Miles speak about the team. He is fun to listen to.

 
I understand wanting yo do this on an off week for football but they would have had more people from western part of the state if it were on a Friday before a game.

Pretty sure the timing is dictated by the official start of practice. The fact that football has a bye week is just a bonus.
