Omaha native Gabrielle Union returned to Nebraska last Saturday alongside her husband and Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade for the season opener against BYU.
As part of their morning visit the two got a chance to tour Nebraska Basketball's Hendricks Training Complex and visit with the Men's Basketball team during a practice before coming to Memorial Stadium.
"You guys don't know how good you have it," Wade told the Nebraska Basketball team after getting a tour of the facilities. "Take advantage of it."
"You don't have to be from Nebraska to be of Nebraska, to be a man of Nebraska," Union told the team, speaking very highly of what being from Nebraska has done for her career as an actress and model.
Wade and Union were equally as impressed with the facilities at Memorial Stadium, taking advantage of the Ndamukong Suh Strength and Conditioning Center to play some catch before kickoff.
Check out photos from their day here. Take a look back at their visit below.
In these Omaha streets... #402
