Where would you have the spring game if Memorial was unavailable?

[nja13]

Sipple reporting that because of the planned renovations, at some point Nebraska is going to have to play a spring game elsewhere becasue of the construction work.

Where would that be?

Seacrest in Lincoln seats 10,000
Omaha Burke has seating for 8,000 plus additional berm seating on the slopes. Would be great PR and continue to build connections in Omaha.
How about the Schwab? That seats 24,000 for baseball. Can that be set up for football? I suppose it could. Isn't that where the Omaha Nighthawks played? I'm guessing this is the answer since no where else in the state comes close to that capacity.
You could introduce real football to all the Jayskers at Morrison Stadium on the Pickle Smoochers campus. Seats 7,500.
None of the state college stadiums come close, with the largest being UNK at 5,250.

Or could you play it at Arrowhead in KC? Is that even legal? Or did out-of-state practice get banned after Jim Harbaugh took Michigan to Italy for spring ball?

Gameday at the schwab would be unbelievably fun

 

[Bootleg11]

Kinnick so they could see a sell out

 

[dsbigred1]

Arrowhead so BTN could get shots of Patty, Travis and Taylor all game long

 

[Papa...Football]

Good question OP.

Best to keep it in state IMO for local vendors and businesses to benefit from

And less hassle for fans to attend. 🤷‍♂️

 

[Kazman5k]

Ask northwestern to borrow their carnival setup for the weekend

 

[whoboppin]

Only option should be Schwab Field. Would be really cool to see.

 

[Herbie]

Have to keep it in Lincoln.

Make a temporary setup in the middle of a cornfield, and have a Field of Dreams style game.

We got pages in a thread chirping about our crummy field turf and you wanna turn our thoroughbreds loose in corn stubble? Lawd Almighty.

Paint some new stripes on “Al Caniglia Field” (UNO’s old hut hut stadium) currently being used for soccer. We can problem add 5,000 pop-up tailgating chairs in the end zones if we have to.

UNK so Ryan Held has a front row view of what a true Husker rebuild looks like.

 

[vailhusker]

Pay-per-view it from the Hawks indoor practice field all proceeds going to the NIL fund.

 

[Adolph Coors]

really dont even need to have one

 

[BluesBucksNHuskers]

I dream every year they’ll approve a rule change that allows a spring scrimmage against another school. So I’m going to stick with that theme and dream we play Oklahoma at Arrowhead.

Big 10 vs SEC showdown in the spring at neutral sites would make so much fucking money.

Nebraska corn might spontaneously heal torn ACLs.

Growing head high corn in April might be an issue. need to get the Ag department on that.

I used a machine in the hospital that heated up ground up corn husks, that helped me to be able to use my hand again. Corn is a magical, healing elixir!
