Memorial Moments

When you walk in here, you see nothing but red. I can't recall walking into another stadium and seeing such an amazing, monochromatic scene and so much loyalty. When they're stirred up when Nebraska is challenged - that's when this crowd can become one of the most intimidating in college football.

Memorial Stadium represents the qualities that make our state and our university great: unity, grit, teamwork, determination. It is a unifying force for all Nebraskans. Most important, it represents the sacrifices made by our brace servicemen and women.

For 100 years, Memorial Stadium has been a hallowed place in Nebraska. No matter where you come from or where you have been, it is a gathering place for all Huskers. Thanks to the continuous support of our fans, this iconic venue has hosted championship teams, legendary coaches, All-American athletes, and decades of sellout crowds.

What has truly set Nebraska apart has been the fans, who have been amazingly loyal through thick and thin...They are knowledgable about and respectful of opponents, and the stadium is place conducive to families, including young children. People travel from all parts of the state and from other states to attend and I think that is because Memorial Stadium is generally filled with loyal, good people who respect the game, the players, and the atmosphere.
