Husker football game-day information announced for 2023

The Nebraska football team will kick off its home slate Sept. 16 versus the Northern Illinois Huskies.

Fans are reminded to arrive early and plan ahead to find an appropriate parking location, entrance gate, restroom, concession stand and postgame meeting place. They are also advised to stay hydrated and follow the instructions of security and safety officials. Each fan is allowed to bring in a clear, empty water bottle, but it may be inspected.

Nebraska has a clear-bag policy for all ticketed sporting events. Details are available here. Clear backpacks, string bags, rues and fanny packs are prohibited.

Exceptions will be made for approved medical needs. Medical bags or equipment can be inspected and tagged at any stadium gate. For questions about medical equipment or other needs, contact the Nebraska Athletic Event Management and Operations Office at 402-472-1003 or click here

Guests carrying bags that do not meet the criteria will be asked to return them to their vehicles, hotel rooms or homes. Fans also may transfer their personal items into a provided, clear, Ziploc-style bag and discard the bag that does not meet the guidelines.

Guests can carry personal items in their pockets or jackets. These include keys, makeup, feminine products, combs, phones, wallets and credit cards. Attendees also may bring blankets into the stadium by carrying them over a shoulder or arm. Guests who don’t have a bag can use the express entry lanes at Gates 2, 4, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20.
