I know people in Lincoln who have Chiefs, Broncos, and Royals season tickets. These are also Husker season ticket holders. Big deal. You act like Americans have a sports budget they can't exceed. Everyone makes a decision on how they spend their money or time, no matter what it is. Husker fans just make Husker football our priority.You are missing the point entirely. Sports fans in the Omaha -Lincoln area have limited options on where to spend their sports entertainment dollars. Actually they have no options…it’s Nebraska football ( and BB , volleyball,etc.) and nothing else.
In the NY/NJ market there are 17 professional sports teams playing year round. Numerous other options for fans to spend their money and attend games. Does this have impact on Rutgers ? Absolutely…as it would with any other college team.
