Here's a press release on what Nebraska Athletics has planned to replace the traditional spring game. It'll be called 'Husker Games':
Husker Games presented by FNBO Set for April 26 in Lincoln
The Husker Games presented by FNBO are set for Saturday, April 26 and represent a complete day of activities for the entire family. Nebraska fans will have the opportunity to get a preview of the 2025 Husker football, volleyball and soccer teams as part of the Husker Games events.
The Husker Games will include football activities in Memorial Stadium, a soccer matchup with Wyoming at Hibner Stadium and a spring volleyball match against Kansas at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The day will also feature tours of the Osborne Legacy Complex, the Husker Equipment Sale and a Food Truck Festival.
On the football field, Nebraska will compete in various events, including 7-on-7 games, skills competitions similar to the NFL’s Pro Bowl games, fan engagement activities and other events. In addition to previewing the 2025 team, Nebraska greats of the past will also put their skills on display in various competitions.
Gates to Memorial Stadium will open at 12:30 p.m. At 1 p.m., an exhibition flag football game between Midland University and a Nebraska intramural all-star team will showcase the rising sport of women’s flag football. Husker football activities will begin at 2 p.m. A ticket to the football portion of the Husker Games will be $10 for adults and $1 for youth eighth grade and younger.
Following the action in Memorial Stadium, the Husker soccer team will hold a spring exhibition match against Wyoming at Hibner Stadium. The game will begin at 4:30 p.m. with free admission.
Head Volleyball Coach Dani Busboom Kelly will make her Nebraska debut when the Huskers take on Kansas at 6:30 p.m. in a spring matchup at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Huskers are coming off a 33-3 season and a trip to the NCAA Semifinals, while Kansas reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season and posted a 25-5 record.
Fans also can participate in three other events throughout the morning and early afternoon. The Husker Food Truck festival will take place outside the East Stadium from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. and includes various food and truck options from local vendors.
The Osborne Legacy Complex, which opened last summer, will be on full display to a limited number of Husker fans for the first time. Comprehensive tours will be available between 8 a.m. and Noon.
Fans purchasing a ticket to any of the Husker Games events will also be admitted for free to the Husker Equipment Sale which will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Hawks Championship Center. Clearance and discounted team merchandise, including jerseys, helmets and other apparel will be available along with surplus marketing and promotional items and collectibles. Local retailers will also have booths set up at the Husker Spring sale with their own discounted and clearance merchandise.
Tickets for all Husker Games events will be available through a tiered on-sale beginning at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, March 11, and continuing through 3 p.m. when tickets to all events will be on sale to the public.
