Nebraska Football Tickets

Nebraska hoping to stay in hunt at Michigan

It's been almost a half-century since fans with Nebraska football tickets have traveled to Ann Arbor, Mich., to watch the Huskers play the University of Michigan.
With Nebraska's move into the Big Ten Conference this season, Nebraska was placed in the same division as Michigan, which means a trip to The Big House will become a regular occurrence as Nebraska seeks to establish new rivalries among its counterparts in its new conference.
You have to be a longtime Nebraska football fan to remember the Huskers' last trip to Michigan Stadium. In fact, you have to go all the way back to Sept. 29, 1962, which was Bob Devaney's first season at Nebraska, to find the Huskers' first and only trip to one of college football's most legendary home fields.
Nebraska pulled off what would become one of Devaney's first signature victories on that day, rallying to defeat Michigan 25-13 in front of a crowd of 57,254 that would barely account for half of the stadium's current seating capacity of more than 109,000.
While this year's game doesn't have that kind of history for the Nebraska team, it is still a very important matchup as the Huskers and Michigan do battle for the Legends Division title and a trip to the first-ever Big Ten Conference Championship Game on Dec. 3 in Indianapolis.
Nebraska is coming off a very emotional 17-14 win at Penn State on Saturday, a game that was played just days after breaking news that a former assistant football coach at Penn State was involved in the sexual abuse of children. Michigan started the season 6-0, but have been up and down in recent weeks. They are coming into the game after a 31-14 win at Illinois, and currently sit tied with Nebraska as both teams are one game behind division leader Michigan State.
There is plenty of history connecting the two schools. The two teams have met in bowl games on a number of occasions, the last coming in 2005 when the Huskers edged Michigan 32-28 in the Alamo Bowl.
Several past Nebraska head coaches have ties to Michigan as well, including Charles Thomas (1895), Fielding Yost (1898), W.C. Cole (1907), Henry Schulte (1919) and Pete Elliott (1956), who actually led the Wolverines to its last outright national championship as quarterback of the 1948 squad.
It should be a great matchup between two of college football's most historic programs. Get your tickets to see Nebraska take on Michigan now at Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.

Big non-conference games still await Nebraska

It's still early in the season, but fans with Nebraska football tickets have enjoyed watching a Nebraska football team develop into a top 10 program so far during the 2011 season.
Nebraska is 2-0 after opening with a 40-7 win over Tennessee-Chattanooga and an exciting 42-29 win over Fresno State last week. Nebraska has shown signs of big-play abilities on offense, and while the defense took some lumps in last week's win over the Bulldogs, they are looking more and more solid by the week.
The big surprise for the Huskers so far has been on special teams. With the loss of placekicking standout Alex Henery to graduation, there was a lot of concern as to how the Huskers would fill that void after Henery's remarkable four-year run as the Nebraska kicker.
They seem to have found an answer in Kearney junior Brett Maher, who drilled four field goals – including a 50-yarder in to the win – in Nebraska's season-opening win over Chattanooga. Maher has shown very good range so far this season and is proving to be a worthy candidate to replace the dependable toe of Henery.
Another positive has been in the return game, where Ameer Abdullah has become an explosive threat on kick returns. He pulled off a key 100-yard return for a score in the Huskers' big win over Fresno State last week, and he is among the leaders nationally in average return yards, making him a major threat to score every time he gets a chance to return a kick.
You'll get to see the Huskers in action one more time during the non-conference schedule. This Saturday, Nebraska takes on Washington in what should be an exciting non-conference matchup at Memorial Stadium. The following week, Nebraska hits the road for a battle against an improving Wyoming squad in Laramie, Wyo. It will be Nebraska's first trip to visit its farthest-west neighboring state, and there is sure to be a group of Husker fans traveling across the border to see the Huskers and Cowboys in action during Nebraska's final game before Big Ten Conference play begins in October.

Nebraska fans buying Wyoming season tickets

If you are looking for Nebraska football tickets to any Husker game this year, Ticket Express is the go-to source for tickets for any Husker football game, whether home or away.
There is a real ticket crunch for one of the games on the Huskers' 2011 schedule, and that's the Sept. 24 game at Wyoming.
Wyoming's War Memorial Stadium seats about 30,000, a little more than a third of the capacity of Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. The University received just 3,850 tickets for their allotment for the game, and those tickets were picked up in a hurry by Husker fans.
Some fans are resorting to becoming Wyoming season ticket holders, just so they can get tickets to the Nebraska game. That means being stuck with tickets to see Wyoming take on such noted football powerhouse teams as Weber State, Texas State and New Mexico.
While the Cowboys do host TCU, a team that beat Wisconsin in last year's Rose Bowl, those Husker fans who do decide to purchase season tickets to the Wyoming game are going to be stuck with some tickets to football games that aren't going to be of much appeal to fans who aren't followers of Wyoming football.
You don't have to be stuck with tickets to football games you don't want to watch. You can get great seats to see Nebraska travel to Wyoming to take on the Cowboys on Saturday, Sept. 24. Don't miss out on what should be a fun road trip -- get your tickets now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.

Big Ten running into TV snags in Nebraska

If you have Nebraska football tickets, you are no doubt looking forward to a great season of watching the Huskers play in the Big Ten Conference.
If you're going to watch the games at home, though, you might run into some trouble, as some cable networks have yet to get on board with the conference's own TV network.
Recently, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany came to Nebraska with conference president Mark Silverman to talk to representatives from cable providers in Lincoln to make sure the conference network is distributed on a level of service similar to that being distributed by cable networks in other states in the conference.
One cable system, Time Warner in Lincoln, seems to be dragging its feet on the issue, which might put the status of some Husker games in jeopardy for cable subscribers to watch at home, especially in Lincoln.
Several cable networks in Nebraska, including American Broadband in the northeast part of the state, have already added the Big Ten Network to its expanded basic cable service, giving Husker fans who are served by that cable company access to the conference's network, since last fall in anticipation of the move by Nebraska from the Big 12 to the Big Ten, which will become official on July 1.
Of course, you can avoid missing the games and be there in person, and Ticket Express is the place to go for great seats to all the Nebraska football games, both home and away. From the season opener against Tennessee-Chattanooga to the season finale against Iowa, and the great road games against longtime powers Michigan, Penn State and others, great seats are available to catch all the action in person.

Future Husker schedules nearing completion

Fans with Nebraska football tickets will see some great non-conference games this year, and the schedule for future years is starting to fill out.
This season, the Huskers open the season at home against Tennessee-Chattanooga on Sept. 3, then have home games with Fresno State on Sept. 10 and Washington on Sept. 17 before traveling to Wyoming for a Sept. 24 matchup in Laramie, Wyo.
Half of the non-conference schedule for 2012 is completed, with a home game against Southern Miss on Sept. 1 and a Sept. 8 date at UCLA. In 2013, Nebraska is looking for one more game to go with home matchups against Wyoming and UCLA and a road game at Southern Miss.
Jeff Jamrog, director of football operations, said the Huskers are close to sealing the deal on some other contracts, but would not name those future opponents until all the deals are completed. They are looking to fill schedules through the 2017 season, and it's not out of the question that the Huskers will bring in another Football Championship Subdivision opponent like Tennessee-Chattanooga or South Dakota State, who the Huskers played last year.
The goal, obviously, is to get three non-conference home games each year, which would guarantee seven home games for the Nebraska football program each season. Football is the main revenue-generating sport at Nebraska, and the university wants to maximize its revenue opportunities by scheduling three non-conference home games, along with four Big Ten Conference games, each season.

Two more Nebraska games to be on national TV

If you have Nebraska football tickets to games with Minnesota and Iowa, you can now make your travel plans thanks to the announcement of game times for both games.
The University of Nebraska announced earlier this week that the Huskers' Oct. 22 game at Minnesota will be an afternoon game, with a 2:30 p.m. kickoff that will be seen on ABC.
The Huskers' regular-season home finale against new cross-river rival Iowa has also got a TV date. The Nov. 25 matchup between the Huskers and Hawkeyes will start at 11 a.m. and be broadcast by ABC.
The Huskers already have three games slated for TV broadcasts this season. Their only non-conference road game at Wyoming on Sept. 24 will be seen on the Versus network at 6:30 p.m. Their Big Ten Conference opener at Wisconsin on Oct. 1 will start at 7 p.m. with broadcast on either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2, while the homecoming game on Oct. 8 with Ohio State will be seen on one of those three networks at 7 p.m.
Whether they're on TV or not, you can get great Nebraska football tickets for all the Husker games, home and away, right now at Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.

Nebraska will look to pound the football

The Holiday Bowl will be the last chance for fans with Nebraska football tickets to see the Huskers in action, as they take on Washington in a rematch of a September matchup that saw the Huskers blow out the Huskies, 56-21.
The key for Nebraska will be its ground game. Both Roy Helu Jr. and Rex Burkhead have ran the ball well for the Huskers this season, and if freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez is fully recovered from his ankle injury, it may make Nebraska's run game tough to stop for Washington.
The Huskies are not a solid team against the run, allowing almost 200 yards per game this season, which ranks among the worst in the FBS division. The Huskies will also be without sophomore defensive tackle Semisi Tokolahi, who was the best on the Washington defensive front at stopping the run. He broke his ankle in the Huskies' season-ending win over Washington State.
Will Nebraska end the season with 11 wins and another bowl victory? Or will Washington avenge an early-season loss and upset the Huskers in sunny San Diego?

Nebraska to face Washington in Holiday Bowl

Nebraska football tickets for the Holiday Bowl will give fans a chance to see the Huskers in a rare rematch situation, as Nebraska will take on Washington in the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl on Dec. 30 in San Diego, Calif.
Earlier this season, the Huskers pounced on Washington on the road and came away with a 56-21, helping Nebraska on its way to a 10-2 regular season and a bid in the Big 12 Conference Championship, where they lost to Oklahoma.
Washington played one of its worst games of the season in their loss to Nebraska, but came alive late in the season and finished with a 6-6 record, earning a trip to a bowl game for the first time in several seasons.
This is the third time the Huskers have played in the Holiday Bowl, and it is also the third time they have faced a Pac 10 team in this game. Nebraska lost to Arizona in the 1998 Holiday Bowl and shut the Wildcats out in last year's classic. Nebraska is 1-3 against Pac 10 teams, including a loss to Arizona State in the 1975 Fiesta Bowl and a loss to Stanford in the 1941 Rose Bowl.
This is not the first time Nebraska has had a bowl rematch with a team they had played earlier in the year. Back in 1978, then-coach Tom Osborne defeated Oklahoma for the first time in his career, but when the Huskers lost to Missouri the following week, the Orange Bowl decided to pit the Huskers and Sooners in a rematch, which was won by Oklahoma.
