Nebraska will reportedly severely restrict stadium capacity during the 2020 season.
According to FQ Nebraska, the Cornhuskers will only let 10,000 people into Memorial Stadium during the coronavirus pandemic if people are allowed in at all. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Half of the tickets will go to faculty and season ticket-holders. The other half will go to the general public. Memorial Stadium usually seats more than 85,000.
????Rumor about Nebraska games:
If there is ANY college football this year, here is UNL’s plan…they want to do 5000 season ticket/faculty/staff and 5000 public. This was recently communicated to Event Staff.— FQ Nebraska (@FQ_Nebraska) July 29, 2020
Well, another school joins the list of programs planning to curb attendance during the 2020 season, and that’s if fans are allowed in at all.
I still don’t believe at all that we’re going to see thousands and thousands of fans in football stadiums in a few weeks.

What evidence do we have to suggest that stadiums will be packed? I see literally none. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m not seeing much hope at all.
I wish Nebraska would pack the stadium safely because the Cornhuskers are full of passionate fans, but I just don’t see it happening.

Having said all of that, I can speak from experience that Memorial Stadium is a crazy atmosphere. It was also on my bucket list as a place to visit, and it didn’t disappoint one bit.
If you’re a college football fan, you have to visit Lincoln. The beer is cold, the people are fun and passionate and the entire atmosphere is great.
Huge thank you to everybody who made my trip to Nebraska an unforgettable experience.
The Cornhuskers truly have the best fans in America. I felt at home, and lost count of all the free drinks we were given.

Now that the game is over and Wisconsin won, I want to say I am blown away by the hospitality of Nebraska fans.
They won’t let me pay for a drink. I was told they’re the nicest fans in the sport, and they didn’t disappoint.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are an all-class fanbase.
