Nebraska?s Launch into a High-Def World a Resounding Success

The scoreboards were brighter. The ribbon boards were more fun as well as more informational. The Tunnel Walk was as good as ever, and a new era of HuskerVision came off without a hitch.

Yep, Nebraska's launch into a high-def world Saturday night in the Huskers' 49-3 win over Florida Atlantic was a resounding success -- from the band and the cheerleaders to the traditionalists who have been coming to Nebraska football games for decades.

Memorial Stadium was so much bigger, better and brighter that you could almost plug the energy, excitement and electricity into a video camera and make it a highlight reel.

So that's what we did.

Hit the play button and see for yourself if we're overhyping the enthusiasm for high-definition, or as one veteran football photographer put it Saturday night: "High-def is so good, it's almost better than live!"
