Update: Aug 14

From an Ohio Alumni who lives in Lincoln and works for the Huskers.

The best way to get tickets is through the Ohio allotment. SeatGeek is the secondary market.

The visitor section at Nebraska is lower part of section 19, is the team block. The next section is the upper part of section 20 and 21.

Hotels: Many hotels are probably full at this point, and you may need to stay in Omaha or look 20+ min outside of Lincoln.

Parking: Single-game accessible parking is available on campus on a first-come, first-served basis. Donor lots 9 and 12 have limited spaces reserved for those with state-issued handicapped vehicle/parking permits or license plates. Additional accessible parking is available at 14th & U Streets (east of Morrill Hall, 14th & W Streets) and the Lot 9 parking garage (14th & Avery Ave.), for $25 per game. Lot 9 is the primary accessible parking option for our fans.

Free public parking for the disabled is available at meter spots on 14th and Vine on a first-come, first-served basis.

StarTran Bus
Fans are encouraged to use the convenient game-day shuttle service through StarTran. Shuttle service to the stadium begins two (2) hours before kickoff, with the last bus leaving the lots 45 minutes before kickoff. The stadium unloading and loading location is on ‘R’ Street, between 12th and 14th. Buses return to the lots immediately after the game.

Riders will be able to board the bus for the return trip after the start of the 4th quarter; however, buses will not return to the lots until they are fully loaded.

The pick-up and drop-off points will be:
• Northwest High School (49th and Holdrege St.)
• South Pointe (27th and Pine Lake Rd.)
• North Star High School (Six blocks east of North 27th and Folkways Blvd.)
• Gateway Shopping Center (66th and O Street)


Things to do:

The Haymarket area has a lot of bars, shops, and restaurants. Making reservations in advance will help a lot. https://downtownlincoln.org/haymarket

Berry’s - the Nebraska bar - is a Friday night and a game day hangout; they have a huge outdoor TV which will probably have the Husker VB match on Friday night before and show CFB games on Saturdays. The pep band will play on Friday nights at Misty's in Havelock: 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM, Zipline Tap and Grill: 7:30 PM and 8:30 PM, Barry's Bar & Grill: 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM. They will play Stand Up and Cheer if they see you. The entire band will play it at the game on Saturday, pregame, before the anthem and flyover.

The railyard becomes the main pregame tailgate party on game days.

The flagship Husker team shop is in the student union; they will also have trailers and stands outside and inside the stadium. The student union quad is where the students tailgate. There are fast food restaurants and public bathrooms in the student union.


Places to Eat:

Runza and getting the famous runza sandwich, cheeseburgers, and their ranch and onion dip. The original runza sandwich is made and served at the stadium on game day.

Valentino's Pizza, which is also made and served at the stadium.

Any of the Haymarket offerings include multiple sushi restaurants, a few sports bars, a lot of international offerings, and Lazlo's Brewery & Grill, which is highly recommended. I also recommend making a reservation in advance, or you could be waiting up to an hour for walk-ins on Friday night and on gameday postgame.

Gameday Activities:

Inside the Huskers' practice facility is FREE live music, family frendly activities in the AC.

Thanks!

The Solich Bowl. Solich had great history at both Nebraska and Ohio. Hope they honor him.

They did a few years ago. Nebraska home locker room is named the Frank Solich locker room. Ohio named the field after him.

Unofficial "Solich Bowl" that week. I'm sure he'll flip the coin or something and, unfortunately, being wearing red.

The red kool aid is strong in those parts so you best believe they game has already been won. Haymarket is alright as is O Street (a sad version of Court St.). Might be in attendance & sit with the Green folk

Would expect there be some mention, but outside Athens and Nebraska I don't expect much fanfare. Nebraska is 5 regimes post Solich and we are three... albeit in 6 short years.

Couple years ago they honored him during the spring game. Painted a special 45 on the field. Pretty sure he was in a Nebraska hat, but his grand sons were in OU gear lol Good boys.

He's in his early 80's now and hasn't been in the best of health (unless things have changed recently), but I bet if he's there he's in an OU hat at least, but being at Nebraska I wouldn't blame him for being decked out in red, but even Nebraska folks know OU became home as well.

Nebraska of all places would understand some OHIO apparel

Does anyone have a feeling about this game. My feeling is with a new staff, new QB, and so many new faces on offense opening in a tough place to play this is going to be difficult.

My Guess is Oddsmakers will make us about a 19 or 20 point underdog with around a 7% chance to win.

We'll be a dog for sure. We simply have more question marks than they do. I think it will be closer to 12-14. This is winnable. Nebraska is no juggernaut and their run d was pretty bad last year. What are we going to be? Your guess is as good as mine.

I seem to have similar thoughts to this.

Nebraska is known to have "off" days and can be caught napping. They're not Ohio State or Penn State. They're more like Rutgers, and if we recall last year's opener at Rutgers, we at least had a chance despite the Special Teams Circus.

Of course, it won't mean anything if we don't get anything going on Offense. Yeah, what are we going to be?

Regardless of if we win or lose, we will booze. See you in Lincoln

Spoken like a true Bobcat (Code Beer Co., Jake's Cigars, Duffy's; Nirvana played there)

This line is up on a few sites now. We are a 23 point underdog which is substantially worse than even my 19 or 20 point guess. You are down at 3 or 4 percent chance at that number. I don't usually miss a guess that badly but week one there is so little data on how good anyone is. Some of these games will probably move a lot in the next few months.

We are replacing so much and don't have the NIL of a few other MAC schools. We need to show we have offense. The biggest point in our favor is we have managed to keep winning for four years while replacing a lot but when you replace your head coach you probably are not going to get as much credit on even that point as we otherwise might.

The positive is that staff stability over two head coach changes has been damn near miraculous, though. I like our chances to be good. Good enough in a tough game 1? tbd.

This game time is already set for Noon EDT on FS1. That's 11 AM there.

This is out only TV broadcast in the four nonconference games. The other three are already slated for ESPN+. With Ohio being pretty good, getting P4s at home resulting in multiple games against them, and MACtion we only had 2 webcasts overall last year and 9 over the last three seasons combined. We may end up with 5 or 6 this year. Time will tell.

Pertaining to What I was saying about the offense needing to prove itself before oddsmakers will believe in us, Bill Connelly's metrics have us returning only 18% of offensive production from 2025. This is #138 and dead last in the FBS. #137 is Sac. State at 21%. 18% is kind of rarified air. It is the lowest number of any school for either offense or defense and even if you go up into the 120 rankings these teams have a substantially higher number for returning production.

take the points

The Bobcats will be huge underdogs for the opener. This program has 26 conference wins and six losses the last four seasons. They know how to protect Solich Field. Don’t expect this football team to suddenly fall off a cliff. Western Michigan and Miami will be picked near the top of the league, but Ohio won’t be far behind them.
