Nebraska Gameday Experience

The entire Husker team was rude as hell, they ruined my saturday night.

It was fucking annoying how on tv they kept showing that damn cornhusker mascot

The Nebraska turf was very rude to Denard's elbow.

It walks around saying it's the Best Turf in the Nation, but after that cheap shot, I'm not seeing it.

Maybe in a couple of weeks I will feel better, but right now Lincoln and Columbus seem pretty much equivalent.

My experience with Nebraska fans was overwhelmingly positive as well.  I'll start with the positives, As we were walking around before and after the game a few people, just walking past, said "welcome to Nebraska" and "Thanks for coming."  I had a pleasant conversation with a Husker fan sitting at the table next to me at Dickey's BBQ.  Even the drunk guy sitting next to me at the game was only slightly obnoxious, and even that was just of a general and occasional drunken boorishness--nothing negative aimed at Michigan or Michigan fans.  I can only think of two negatives (aside from the game, that is).  One was a drunken sorority girl type who made some comment about "observing the wildlife" when fans in the section started doing the Blues Brothers song. The other affected Husker and Wolverine fans alike, so it was more just general lack of common courtesy.  We were sitting in the upper rows of section 40, and in the last minutes of the game, when Nebraska had the ball fans started heading down the stairs.  But things came to a complete standstill because there were fans standing in the exit row watching the game.  It did allow one last moment of bonding between Michigan and Nebraska fans though, talking about the selfishness and idiocy of those blocking the exits.  

Except for the loss, I had a great time, and they announced the crowd as the second biggest crowd ever, so I guess that says something about Husker fans regarding Michigan, because the Michigan fans were not a huge contingent.

I had a great experience and would love to come back. They are just so nice I was craving to hear a "Fuck Michigan"

The ever so important and obligatory question... Was she cute?

before the game, we heard:
"Welcome to Lincoln."
"Hi folks, nice to see you."
"We're glad you came this far, good luck."
Walking to the stadium, we may have heard someone in a car a block away yell something derogatory, but could have been an Oregon fan listening to satellite radio yelling "TD again, ducks!"

vast majority of people are crazy nice and polite.  like well trained customer serivce-but still very pleasant

stadium is old and poorly designed but kind of works. not dirty, not crumbling . concesions are old but lines flow and food is basic but actually high quality.

few drunk people who want to talk trash. 

a lot of people who are unknowledgeable complaining about each and evey call aganist braska.

hotel way over priced. good food in lincoln seems hard to come by.

I managed to be surrounded by the drunk belligerent Husker fans despite being in the visitors section. Outside of the game people were really nice. Poor cell service, crappy beer, nothing to do outside of football, I don't think we'll bother driving through 8hrs of corn again.

It was borderline disconcerting. Almost like a cult, but a football loving cult.

We had some friends and connections. As we moved between a couple of tailgates, people insisted on getting us more beers and food!

We had several encounters with fans eager to discuss their trips to Ann Arbor last year. Seems that everyone looks forward to many more games to come.

We passed a painted bus that had a couple of Michigan dummies made up to look like Denard and Gallon. When we went to take a picture, they flipped us off. That was about the most negative thing that happened.

A the game we had a very loud, engaged female fan who apologized in advance that she would be loud and into the game. I tend to be the same way, and my buddy turned to her and said, "YOU are apologizing to HIM???" The banter and conversation during the game was really friendly. I was disappointed with the result, but the experience was great.

Was the guy in the bar in Thursday that wanted to fight us. Still not entirely sure why. When he shoved a friend the bouncers exited him promptly and the owner if the bar bought us a round because hey wanted to assure us a good time.



As far as the game experience goes,worst thing was the guy behind me that insulted Detroit because 'they shoot people there.' Same guy said Denard 'sucks d***'



They also cheered when one of their own players went down, but I was in the student section and we know how students are



Also, so many ads on the scoreboards.

Was in a bar Thursday night in my Michigan gear of course. Some (I'm guessing drunk) girl came up and hugged me and said "welcome to nebraska." Which was nice of her. Until the girlfriend came back from the bathroom and saw. Then she judo kicked told her to back off and well I got a stern talking to that night.

With a few minutes to go the place was almost silent, thought it would be crazy loud, not even close. All the fans were great except the 2 guys behind us that did not shut up the whole game and were clueless, taunting fans.

This is the absolute worst thing I heard during the entire trip: at the end of the flight into Omaha, the stewardess wished both of our teams luck, to which the guy sitting next to me replied, "That's wrong! Husker Power!" And that guy was actually pretty cool, because earlier in the flight, he invited me to his buddy's tailgate.

Classiest fans in the Big Ten, hands down. Respect.

Well out of a crowd of 80,000+, roughly 2 dozen a-holes isn't a bad percentage.  Look at Columbus, where you have 90,000+ and only 2 dozen decent fans

Any of them express sympathy about what happened to Denard?

Going to be taking this trip every two years. We lucked out with our division - Chicago, Iowa City, Minneapolis, and Lincoln every other year. Too bad we can't trade East Lansing for Madison.

The most annoying fans were a family of 4 Michigan fans behind us, who spent the last 90 minutes insulting Bellomy and telling everyone around us how screwed we're gonna be next year.



Nebraska fans were unfailingly nice. I was slightly disappointed at the atmosphere at the game - I expected it to be more intense, but it was surprisingly laid-back when it wasn't 3rd down. Still, awesome experience and would absolutely come back.
