Nebraska Cornhuskers news: Tickets get discounted, former Husker in Omaha, more

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are going to be celebrating the 100th anniversary of Memorial stadium and it turns out that there’s going to be a big discount when it comes to season tickets in order to help shine the light on the team. The added bonus is that the Nebraska football team’s tickets will also help with the sellout issue.

Earlier this week, Trev Alberts announced that the season ticket prices will be reduced by about $100. The seven-game tickets will be offered at $320 this coming season. In 2022 the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ home slate cost $420.

There aren’t a whole lot details offered about those prices. It seems there’s a chance they will still have the donation needed. That could tamp down the excitement over the prospective savings being offered.
