Huskers vs Cincinnati 8/28

[3fingershomer]

Didn’t think a Thursday game was possible. Oh well.

 

[SickOfPractice]

It's official. It will now be played at Arrowhead Stadium in KC.

 

[huskerfan66]

Yep tickets go on sale tomorrow morning

 

[bleedhuskerred]

Was really looking forward to a weekend in Indy. Thursday night in KC instead...

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

Wonder if it will be ESPN or Fox, I'm not sure who gets choice on Big 12?

 

[Husker4real]

I approve.

Royals host the Tigers that weekend, too.

Based on our Big 12 experiences with early season games I'd say Pay-Per-View. I'm only half joking, those games pi$$ed me off when we were in that conference.

I wonder if Cincinatti is as good as Cincinnati.

 

[leodisflowers]

Damnit. I was looking forward to Indy.

 

[Walleye79]

Can they use this as a recruiting weekend?

You can bet it will be used as a huge KC recruiting tool.

 

[Walleye79]

Need to pull some strings and get some chiefs players in the sideline for recruits to socialize with. Come on Merritt sr pull some strings

 

[SickOfPractice]

Playing in one of the great cathedrals of pro football has got to be an eye opener for recruits, doesn't it? 😎

Mainly because of parking because the Royals are playing at home that weekend unfortunately that part sucks..

Former Chief coach on staff that appears to be very well liked. Chiefs coaches kid playing for NU. I'm sure there will be some Chiefs in house.

Harrah's KC booked.

 

[cubsker]

Going to be a hell of a lot warmer than the last time I was in that stadium.

Big 12 Championship vs OU? OMG ! We drove home afterwards, feeling didn’t return to my toes until we reached Mound City!

I was at the Oklahoma St game in 1998 when we stopped them at the goal line to win the game 24- 17.

Group of us even got on TV.

 

[Stlhuskers]

What is best guess on KO time for the Thursday game, 7pm?

 

[Vanhusker]

Just booked 3 rooms @ hotel Lotus. Supposed to be walkable to Arrowhead

It's official. It will now be played at Arrowhead Stadium in KC.

Cincy home game played in Nebraska’s backyard in an effort to help their budget. But I’m sure their coach is thrilled with his AD (who is a Lincoln native and a fellow NU College of Law grad🤣).

Best Western right by Arrowhead stadium.

Real pricey, GBR🎈

Mound city ks??

 

[SickOfPractice]

Mound city ks??

Missouri. It's along I-29 between KC & Omaha. I believe it's while driving by that city that the decision was made to join the B1G.

 

[GBRforLife1]

Arrowhead stadium is smaller than memorial.

Takes all that money out of the Nebraska economy.

Theres no real good party places close to there.

Thursday nights are pretty low key in KC.

Maybe I am wrong? But wouldn’t this be considered Cincys home game

That one definitely looked nicer, if I wasn't paying for all my broke besties (my kids), I'm sure the wife and I would have gone that route

We're not giving up a home game

 

[huskerfan66]

Correct. It's a $$grab by Cincinnati that is more important to them than a home game

It was never going to be in Lincoln it’s was supposed to be in Cincinnati. Then Indy now KC

Correct

 

[Walleye79]

So since it’s considered an away game? Can NU host recruits

Mike Rucker with the play of the game!

No it isn’t a home game..As long as they wear red pants that’s more important kicking off the season..

Hope not Fox. We never win on the main Fox network.
