As anecdotal evidence about how Nebraska fan support has dropped with the losing season, here's a comparison of tickets available for tonight's game on Stubhub (as currently shown on the ESPN scorecard):
Nebraska night home game vs. No. 7 ranked and undefeated Michigan State - 301 tickets available beginning at $31
In contrast, for the Ohio State night home game vs. unranked and 4 loss Minnesota - 56 tickets available beginning at $98
Rather obvious and not a big surprise of course, but just mathematical evidence that winning matters to ticket sales. Should the record repeat itself next year, it will be interesting to see how ticket sales are affected when the home marque games are not as good.
