Expect a record breaking crowd for the Spring Game

Over/under 68,500?

I feel like right now there is a ton of momentum. Like someone else mentioned, the weather will play a role as well.

If we are looking at anything over 60 degrees and sunny, look out.
 
Also depends on ticket cost. Looks like they are selling a lot of one dollar tickets, which will really help. Aren’t we about the only school that still charge for a spring game?

Other nuggets from Alberts …​

*** He thinks Rhule recognizes the importance of having plenty of in-state players on the roster.

“It’s our culture,” Alberts said. “That’s who we are. It’s our toughness, right? Matt recognizes that, and I just love their investment into the state.”

*** Alberts was asked about Nebraska’s season-ticket request list for football.

“People are responding, and we’re a little past where we’ve historically been,” he said, nothing there’s 6,700 requests from people who would like to be part of the season-ticket base.

“We think it’s a really good sign as we get started here.”

*** Alberts said he thinks Rhule will continue with morning practices, as was the case for Nebraska under previous head coach Scott Frost.

*** Alberts thinks the Spring Game on April 22 will be a worthwhile endeavor for everyone involved, including the fans.

“It’s going to be a game,” he said. “It’s going to be football. I’m really looking forward to seeing what this version of Husker football looks like under Rhule’s leadership.”

They need to waive admission and instead pass the hat for NIL donations.
Agree. College football is a dying market. College admissions have been trending down for a decade. Goal of the spring game should be to engage and bring as many people in as possible, not maximize profits.
