Game Time

[TrojanAlum]

How early do you suggest I get out to the stadium? Basically when do you all start to party before the game!

Get to "O" Street or the Haymarket anytime after 11:00 and you'll be fine. Both areas are easy walks to the stadium. As for entering the stadium, just don't miss the band and tunnel walk 15 minutes before kick.

Getting downtown that early too you should get a great parking spot. Don't worry, you won't be gigged $50 to park like I paid outside the stadium in LA LA land last year....but I did enjoy the tranquility of looking at the Olympic Dive Pool from my tailgate spot.

Welcome to Lincoln!

BTW, I posted a great link on where to go and other tips in another message requesting 'help needed' on this board.

Check it out.

thanks for the tips, believe it or not they wanted $100 for parking miles away from campus for the Idaho game

i thought this was a night game?? unless you need 7 hours to get jacked up before kickoff??

 

[TrojanAlum]

5 pm kickoff but I would like to soak in as much of the atmosphere as possible, how often does USC play Nebraska in Lincoln!

 

[Hunter94]

no, 8 p.m. kickoff CST.

It'll be 5pm Pacific. The game is at 7pm in Lincoln. Kickoff is 7:13pm CDT to be exact.

my bad im all mixed up with PST. Would you suggest visiting any attractions around the stadium and town way before the game?

 

[Hunter94]

well, its been 30 years since i lived there and went to the U..........i'll let some of the other posters field that question......but have fun, town is full of good people!

the stadium pretty much has a museum in there, you could check that out before the game

So if I'm going downtown to a bar to watch the game, what time should I go?!

And where?

Bars will be packed pretty early, you may need to arrive 2+ hours before kickoff to get a decent seat. Every bar will have the game on but I think The State theater is showing the game on a huge screen, its on O impossible to miss

You can check out the Lincoln Visitors Bureau website or AAA to see what blows your skirt up, er tutu, being from LA LA land. :lol: Museums and the zoo are good if you are so inclined for some personalities.

Here's the link I posted on another call for info on Lincoln. undefined

Seriously, I have many family members from LA coming back for the game and we have a banquet room at a popular dining establishment reserved from 11:00 to 3:00 so the 38 so far can reunite. Several came back to Lincoln from Orange County without tickets just to experience the game day in Lincoln we painted for them when were in Los Angeles last September.

Kick is 7:13 as another astute member noted but DO NOT MISS the Tunnel Walk approx 15 minutes before. (Sorry, you probably won't see it on tv - it's an in stadium experience)

Enjoy the atmosphere...BTW - ticket prices are dropping. Noticed on EBAY one scalper bidding on most of the remaining auctions. We'll see if his gamble is correct. Wait until kick to see if tix are available before going back to the bars. You could get a ducat for face value when the scalpers need to unload remaining inventory.

Just make sure you realize that you can't drink at a tailgate outside the stadium. SO backasswards!
