Due to the construction, we’ve had to adjust how we handle the entry of fans on the east side.  Although we are limiting the number of entry locations, we will have a comparable number of entry points as in previous seasons, i.e. ticket takers.  Gate 23/24 locations are dedicated for student ticket entry.  The other entry points will take all other valid gameday tickets.

Welcome to Memorial Stadium

Inscribed on the four corners of the stadium are the following words, written by former UNL professor of philosophy Hartley Burr Alexander: "In Commemoration of the men of Nebraska who served and fell in the Nations Wars. Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory. Courage; Generosity; Fairness; Honor; In these are the true awards of manly sport. Their Lives they held their countrys trust; They kept its faith; They died its heroes."

About Memorial Stadium

The home of the Huskers since 1923 and the location of a continuing NCAA-record consecutive sellout streak that began Nov. 3, 1962, Memorial Stadium provides one of the most exciting game-day experiences in all of college football.
