First of all, a big thanks to Ray and Lindsey for letting me and Emily buy their tickets to the NU/New Mexico St game this last weekend. The weather was beautiful (after several straight days of rain!) and we had such a blast. This was my first experience at a night game....and it was totally worth it! Don't get me wrong, it's just as cool to be in Memorial Stadium feeling your skin frying beneath the beating rays of the Nebraska sun.....but there is something magical about doing the wave with 85,000 other people under the bright lights of the stadium. We stopped on the way across campus to listen to the Band in the commons area in front of the Music building...which was cool. Then, once we got into the stadium, we had a great time screaming and booing...sometimes all in the same breath...and enjoying the other fans seated close to us. One kid behind us kept saying "Can't we sit down now?" and one of the guys below us a few rows had a small megaphone that got a lot of use. :)
We were in the North endzone about 7 rows up...which was the closest I've ever been to the field at any NU game (this pic didn't require a whole lot of zoom....). The only part about our trip to Lincoln last weekend that wasn't exciting was the fact that we waited 30 minutes to back out of our parking space after the game. It takes awhile to get all 85,000 people cleared out, I guess.
All in all, it was a great day and we had a blast! Oh yeah, and we WON!!
