Post 6 Husker Game Day

On game day, Memorial Stadium becomes the third largest city in Nebraska. Game day is one the greatest traditions of Nebraska. There is no greater feeling than the minute you step into Memorial Stadium. The atmosphere of the game is so intense, yet wonderful. The minute you step foot into the stadium, you can sense the excitement and intensity of the upcoming game. You can look around at a stadium full of 80,000 dedicated Husker fans and you can hear and feel the spirit that these fans bring with them. You know a die-hard Husker fan will always be there rain or shine.

I attended my first Husker game last Saturday night. I’ve heard for so many years that the feeling you get when you walk into the stadium is amazing! I’ve lived in Nebraska my whole life and have never been to a game! There are so many traditions such as Husker football games that go on in Nebraska and I had never taken part in one of the biggest of them all!

The most important part of this tradition is the tunnel walk. The tunnel walk sets the mood for the whole game. Before the players run onto the field they get so pumped up! Seeing all of the their energy makes the fans more excited. When the players run onto the field, the fans can see their enthusiasm. The music that they play as the players run onto the field is so exhilarating it gets the fans even more pumped!

Just watching this movie makes me feel excited to be a Nebraskan! Now that I’ve been to a game I’m hooked! I would go every weekend if I could. There is so much attitude and competitiveness in college football. You haven’t seen a real game until you’ve been to Memorial Stadium.
