Based on NOAA data, the 2017 average global temperature across land and ocean surface areas was 0.84°C (1.51°F) above the twentieth-century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F), making it the third-warmest year on record behind 2016 (warmest) and 2015 (second warmest). It was the warmest non-El-Niño year in the record.

F-it.  I got political because I am not going to let blatant lies be posted.

Remember last year...people bitching about them on the secondary market for 100 dollars...only to be told time and time again to just wait and you will get them for face value.

RELAX PEOPLE

 
I take my kids every year, it's our new tradition.  It's too damn expensive to take them to real games; they aren't old enough to really enjoy it all anyway (3rd grade).

My wife and 3 kids go for $20.

It was still a s#!t way of doing the spring game tickets and it still is the way they are doing it this year.  It’s just plain dumb in every way.  Just open the whole thing up on one date it had been fine that way for years.

It's smart if you're trying to make money and build your brand. Spring games have turned into incredible revenue opportunities, especially with the high program interest and recruiting potential. They're also trying to satiate season ticket holders to provide more value for their investments.

It sucks a bit for everyone else, admittedly, but that's capitalism I guess.

Except Nebraska isn’t building its brand, it’s maintaining an already highly valuable one and the athletic department already has boatloads of money.

It is way more valuable to allow those that can’t otherwise see a game to do so, to help build and maintain a fan base, which is its most valued commodity.

Yes, they are building their brand. They're always building their brand. Brands that solely maintain are the ones that fail.

And that's exactly what Nebraska's doing while capitalizing on the revenue gains. We can pretend to live in a sunshine and daisy world where the university does things out of the kindness of its heart. It's not reality. We had somebody in this thread admit that they're taking their family to the spring game because it's not feasible to go during the regular season. The university is essentially trying to get the best of both worlds - make money and please the fans. By and large, they accomplished both in 2018, so there's little incentive to change in 2019.
