Skybox Facility Tour Information

Lincoln -- In conjunction with Homecoming Festivities, the University of Nebraska Athletic Department will conduct tours of the Memorial Stadium Skybox Facility for the public. Tours will be held Sunday, Oct. 3 through Wednesday, October 6 from 2-8 p.m. On Thursday, October 7, tours will be given from 2-6 p.m. in order to conclude before "Tailgate on the Turf," a special event planned for UNL students and faculty and staff. Those interested in attending a tour on these dates do not need to make an appointment in advance. Continuous tours of approximately 20 minutes will be conducted on these dates on a first-come, first-served basis.

Guests should enter the stadium at Gate 10, which is located at the northwest corner of the stadium. Guests will be escorted through the new levels of the Skybox Facility in groups of about 20 people at a time. Guests will view the Don Bryant Media Facility on Level 6; a skybox suite on level 4; and the Club Seating area on Level 3. These special tours offer the only opportunity for the public to see the Club seating level and an example of a skybox suite. When football practice is scheduled in the stadium (3-6 p.m.) guests will not be allowed to take pictures of the field.

During football season, regular stadium tours may be scheduled by appointment only on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. by calling Connie Wesslund at 472-1905. Sites on regular stadium tours include Tom Osborne Field, the tunnel, the Hewit and Boekel Academic Centers, Strength Complex, Performance Buffet area, the Don Bryant Media Facility, the stadium concourse and Huskers Authentic.

Guests are encouraged to park in the Stadium Drive Parking Garage. The garage is free on Sunday, and parking is available at the regular rates Monday through Thursday.
