I meant to type this a few weeks ago but better late than never.
I flew into Omaha Friday night before the Ark St. game. Coming across from the airport into downtown was impressive. Omaha is really nice and I would love to spend some time there. The drive to Lincoln was nice and I stayed at a hotel near the lincoln airport. To get to the point, I now fully understand why Nebraska fans have high expectations and also why Lincoln is truly a special place in college football. When I drove into Lincoln at 9 pm and saw Memorial Stadium lit up in the night, I was in complete awe. It is beautiful on television, it is unbelievable in person. I live in Orange County, CA and I am surrounded by a plethora of venues. Not one even comes close. Once I stepped onto campus the next day, it was so big time that it blew my mind how kids can come here and not be excited to run out that tunnel. I was able to walk on the field hours before the game, and talked to some players near the locker room. It was fantastic. The game day experience is awesome and the crowd was so loud. I am jealous of those who will be there this Saturday. All of my friends back home were in complete awe by what I was posting and they could not believe how beautiful it was. I have been a fan since I was child (27 years old) and attended the Holiday Bowls of the last ten years and Ucla game in 2012 but I am still an outsider. That place is special and I fully understand that money can build up facilities but Nebraska is built by success and thats what makes it so great. I know we are not where we want to be but I am completely confident that Nebraska will get there. I hope you all keep your expectations high as well.
