Memorial Stadium

I had a thrilling experience attending a college football game here at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, one of the most iconic football universities in all the United States. Although the game was against Rutgers, who may not be the most popular opponent on Nebraska's Big 10 schedule, it was still a Memorial Stadium sellout with over 87,000 in attendance. And to say it was a "sea of red" would be putting things lightly, lol.One thing, I initially purchased a ticket on StubHub for Section 23 and Row 42 down in the lower bowl section. It cost $66 with taxes and fees. Unfortunately the seller of the ticket never warned me that there were significant obstructions of views. And when I arrived at my seat, I was disappointed. But..I quickly pivoted and purchased another seat back on StubHub ($40) in the 600 level. Wow, lol, I didn't know 600 level sections existed in stadiums, but I believe that's the case at major colleges like here in Nebraska, Penn State, LSU and Georgia. Yet, the 600 level offered terrific views. I didn't think it was too high up. I could see the entire field and...there were actual comfortable seat backs and not bleacher style benches. Back in Section 23 were old fashioned benches. So don't be deceived by where you may sit. I give my blessings to the 600 section, lol.Regardless...I had an amazing time. And I'm from Florida, I'm just a fan of college football. No allegiances or attachments or loyalties. Purely here for the love of the game.The gates to Memorial Stadium open 90 minutes before kickoff. Outside the stadium is plenty of tailgating around the grounds. Nebraska players get welcomed and walk through the Athletic Hall of Fame and enter Tom Osborne Plaza (the famous Nebraska coach who put Nebraska on the football map) before the game. Fans surround the Hall of Fame walkway and cheer proudly. For parking for the game, I found a random side street about 1 mile away from Memorial Stadium. So I got to park for free and do a little walking myself which I didn't mind on a beautiful early fall, October day. I did see parking lots nearby the stadium for $25 entry.Pregame introductions were terrific. There were fireworks blasting off from one of the end zones as things got started. That added to the electricity. I was told that there would be an epic flyover by the military, but that never happened. That's okay.I liked how fans chanted "husker" from one side of the stadium, and the other side responded with... "power". It displayed good unity. Every 3rd down for Rutgers had Nebraska fans standing up and out of their seats and making noise against the road opponent. But that is typical at most games. Still, I guess, Nebraska only giving up 7 points in this one had me feeling like the crowd willed the Cornhuskers defense to the win. Extra notes I can think of...- They sold game day programs for $5. Wow, I didn't think those existed anymore, lol.- Staff were actually checking tickets for the 600 level. If you didn't have a seat in the 600's, you were denied access to the escalators. That was surprising. Usually no one makes a fuss about who sits where in the upper deck. - Tom Osborne Plaza is the primary entrance area to Memorial Stadium. It's good for taking photos. - Nebraska kept up its tradition of consecutive sellout games. I believe they're up over 400 in a row. I was proud to be a part of this continuous sellout. Overall, it was a joy to attend a Nebraska football game. The Cornhuskers have a historic college football legacy and the experience at Memorial Stadium totally lived up to my expectations. Thank you for having me Lincoln.

Memorial Stadium is very much a college football stadium vs. the NFL - super cramped bleacher seats, sub par food options - and a heck of a good time!I've been to Husker football games both in the bleachers and in a box, and while the food options, luxury seating, and privacy are a lot better in the boxes, there's a lot more camaraderie and fun happening in the bleachers with the rowdy fans.The Regents of UNL have voted to start selling alcohol at the games, and I think that's a little bit of a mistake. It gets rowdy enough in the stadium and you don't need to add any further excitement to that.It can get VERY loud, so if you bring kids, try to bring noise dampening headphones for them or for anyone with hearing issues.You can rent a stadium seat with a back on it, that will make the bleacher seating a little more comfortable, and I recommend that if you will want to sit more than stand. There's really not a bad seat in the stadium (except on the opponent's side) as the stadium has a good slope to it so nobody in front of you is in your view. We got obstructed view tickets once and even that wasn't bad - we just couldn't see the fireworks because we were under the ceiling overhang, but the field was in full view.If you're a fan of college football or have never been to a Husker game, definitely make it a point to get out there someday - it's really an experience!

WOW this stadium continues to improve. My first game here was 1995 and most recent was volleyball day in 2023.There isnt a bad spot in the stadium, we've gotten seats in the shade, near the first row, and I've even been in a suite (which is really the way to go)!Every attendant working is nice, and friendly, especially helpful when you have to consider the clear bag policy. The only complaint is there isn't enough parking! Be prepared to walk 1-2 miles from a campus parking lot and dropping $25, but other than that, its always good vibes when you're in the area.

In November we went to the UCLA vs Nebraska game. The Nebraska fans are the nicest we've ever come across. They were so welcoming and nice. We parked a few blocks away but it was very walkable. We can't wait to come back and see another game here. We had a great view and you can rent a seat booster.

A place of happiness or suffering haha. Any Nebraskan will tell you that this the best place for college football atmosphere. If you've never attended a game at Memorial Stadium you need to! The stadium fills with an electric energy.

I've been to the stadium a few times over the years but this year got to experience a game from the suite as a friend of mine won tickets to Joe Ricketts suite.This was an amazing experience and even more luxurious than I expected! We went up to the suite on an elevator and there were many employees helping out by ushering us to our room. The room was equipped with a nice fridge/freezer, and a microwave we could use, among other amenities. This was a pot luck so we were able to plug in croak pots, etc. to prepare our food, but if I remember correctly there was a stove and oven as well.The room itself was large enough for our group of 20-30 to comfortably mingle, set out/get our food, and use the indoor table and bar seats (facing the field) to enjoy the game. There were also 3 rows of exterior seats which most of us sat in throughout the game (these were our ticketed seats).The temperature of the room was perfect, and the windows were able to be opened/closed electronically using a panel in the room. We really had a lot of control over the environment!There was a private restroom in our suite, so we did not ever need to leave, although the spacious hallway outside was also open to us and offered a few comfortable couches/chairs to use.There was an attendant assigned to our suite the entire game--she was very nice, and helped with keeping things tidy through the whole game, bringing us anything we needed, and assisting with the cleanup at the end. Service was exceptional--she seemed so happy to be there, as did all the other employees we interacted with!Of course the cherry on top was that the Huskers won this game 35-11, but even if they had lost this would have been an amazing experience! It did not take long at all to exit the suite, ride the elevator down, and even get out of the parking lot.What stood out to me the most throughout this experience was the joy and pride everyone working the event had to be a part of it! Nebraska fans will always love the opportunity to watch a game live, but the employees who likely work every event through the season had the same genuine excitement to be there at their job as most fans have.I'll never forget this experience, or the 'Nebraska Nice' attitudes I saw displayed throughout the whole stadium! Makes me proud to be a Husker!

10/10. (Maybe slightly biased as a born Husker fan..) I enjoy coming to Memorial Stadium for Husker games! I never have trouble getting in or out - the truck is to park in the North Bottoms and walk over the bridge to the stadium! Always such a fun environment and Nebraska always puts on a show.

I've gone to many Nebraska husker games over the years, and the stadium stairs are kind of tiny almost fell down the stairs once. And that stuff is kind of expensive but if you know, I recommend going early so you can get good parking near the stadium see the band and you could also rent seat covers that hooked onto your seat they have padding.I recommend the seat covers because they give you space from your neighbor on your seat and you won't get pushed into you. They also have vendors that walk around the Sections so if you're hungry, you won't have to go down to the concourse. The concourse is always busy. It's more busy during halftime, so I recommend getting stuff during the venders. Instead of getting i people's way.

Over the years, I've taken my kids to many games at Memorial Stadium. I have fond memories of the stadium from my childhood and the experience has continued to stay the same (positive) even as the stadium expanded to accommodate more fans. Memorial Stadium and Husker gamedays are an experience that everybody should live once. First of all, the stadium....it's grown tremendously over the years, and other than seats in the lower areas behind support pillars, there aren't really bad seats. Of course, there are "nosebleeds", but you can find very reasonable seats with good views for a good price for most games. Even when the team hasn't done well, the stadium is electric and full of energy. The smell of Valentino's Pizza and Runza's fill the air as you are in the concourse or when venders come through your section. The vendors do a pretty good job of coming through with drinks, unless it's super hot. So, unless you have to go to the restroom, you could probably go the whole game with seat-service. If you visit for a game, I would make three recommendations. 1 - Reserve parking on the City of Lincoln parking website; 2 - Buy a cushion seat, not only is it soft, but it reserves a portion of your seat for you so that your neighbor doesn't encroach into your space and crush you with your other neighbor; and 3 - Arrive early, and enter the stadium at least 45-60 minutes prior to kickoff. Do not miss the tunnelwalk/anthem/entrance, which starts well before 0:00 on the clock.

This was the best experience ever at a huskers game this was a late review but man the 400 sellout game was good the drones were cool the food (as always) was amazing my favorite drink was there mtn dew was there i go to these a lot but this was when I noticed how loud we are we have more decibels then the broncos game which was in Denver still the 400 sellout game is the best experience I have ever been to the drone show at the 3rd quarter was awesome then the OT game was the best coming next year
