For about 2 or 3 weeks they have been calling it Operation Visine-Keep the red out of Beaver Stadium. They kept saying how the Husker Nation had a habit of grabbing every ticket they could for away games and sometimes had as many if not more fans then the home school, just wondering how hard a ticket was to get ?

I had four tickets from the NU allotment (believe we got 10,000) so I wasn't really paying attention. There were quite a few people on the street looking for tickets. I only ran into one person with tickets for sale. I expected more Husker fans inside the stadium as it was nothing like Notre Dame several years ago. You could see a few Huskers fans here and there through most of the stadium so someone was selling.

 

The Saturday morning Harrisburg paper had an article that mentioned the "red out" situtation. I heard that if you had a ticket in the student section they would not allow you (Husker fan) in. I don't know if that was true or not. It sure didn't look like there were any Husker fans in that part of the stadium.

 

All in all I thought it was a great venue for college football. The rain held off, the stadium looked great, the crowd was rockin, only problem was the opponent didn't show up. Nine wins and a bowl game may be in jeopardy this year. With the way Nebraska travels we'd still get a bowl game but it might be our ninth win.

At Penn State to get in with a student ticket you need regular ID plus your student ID. Something new this year.

It seemed like a lot of students attended the game. Are there always that many? BTW I liked the blue and white things they were waiving but the lion roar over the sound system got kind of annoying, especially toward the end of the game.

Yeah, they actually have a student lottery to see who gets tickets, Bad thing though at Pitt students can go to all home games for $20 but at PSU the games are $27 apiece.
