Football and volleyball season is here—and what better way to bring together Nebraskans than with a blend of sports, snacks, and sweet routines? Whether you’re tuning in from home or heading to a game in Lincoln, there’s plenty of Husker pride to go around.
Players to Watch This Season
Volleyball (Huskers ranked #1)

Game Day at Home: Husker Fun for Families
Hosting friends and family for the big game? Try a baked potato bar! 🥔
- Bake a big batch of potatoes.
- Offer toppings like cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, and chili.
- It’s easy, customizable, and delicious — perfect for seniors and families alike.
Set up your Husker watch zone with cozy blankets, simple snacks, and team spirit. Late games? Plan ahead with heartier finger foods and extra seating so everyone stays comfortable.
Heading to the Game? A Senior’s Guide
Attending at Memorial Stadium (football) or Pinnacle Bank Arena / Bob Devaney Sports Center (volleyball)? Here’s what seniors—and families—should keep in mind:
- Crowds & Tradition: Husker games are nearly always sold out—Memorial Stadium runs a 403-game sellout streak! Allow extra time for parking and enjoy the pregame tunnel walk and “Husker Power” chant.
- Clear Bag Policy: Only small, clear tote bags (12x6x12 in.) are allowed. Use clear, compact bags for personal essentials.
- Mobility Tips: Enter through handicap-accessible gates close to your seat. Book early—or pack a folding seat cushion to stay comfortable.
- Half-time Break: Head to concessions early—less standing in lines and the perfect time to stretch your legs by the band playing.
