Gearing Up For Game Day: Wichita State Series

 

Huskers Enter National Rankings

Nebraska entered the national rankings this week, coming in at No. 23 in the NFCA coaches' poll. The Huskers cracked the top 25 after going 2-2 last weekend with a win over No. 7 Oregon and losses to No. 1 Florida and No. 9 Washington in nine innings. The new NFCA poll comes out every Tuesday morning.

Shiny, New Things at Bowlin Stadium

Fans will notice some improvements and upgrades to Bowlin Stadium this weekend. First, the faded banner covering the outfield fence has been replaced with a brighter, larger banner that is easier to read. But perhaps the biggest change the fans will notice is increased safety netting. The netting that has been behind home plate to protect spectators has been extended to the end of both dugouts, allowing protection for the younger fans who like to sit in the grass berms behind the dugouts.

Huskers Will Also Have New Look This Weekend

Bowlin Stadium isn't the only thing that will look slightly different this weekend. The Huskers were surprised and excited to see new, white cleats in their lockers this week.

Nothing says home weekends like brand new white cleats - Thank you @Kkotrous22 & @adidas 😍😍 #414 pic.twitter.com/Y3tyhsXEG2
