One of our biggest claims to fame is the Cornhusker\u2019s Sellout Streak. Since 1962, there have been 368 consecutive sold out games at Memorial Stadium. But, our football team isn\u2019t the only thing that can bring in crowds \u2014 Nebraska Volleyball is also incredibly popular. Since 2001, the volleyball program has sold out every regular-season match, putting the current streak at over 250 consecutive sold-out games. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t experienced the amount of Huskers spirit that radiates from the horseshoe before a football game \u2014 you need to. About two hours and 45 minutes before the game, head on down to the Vine Street entrance of Memorial Stadium and watch the players and coaches step off the buses. The marching band, Herby Husker, Lil\u2019 Red and the cheerleaders will join you in welcoming the team.<\/span><\/p>\n
