After the season opener in Dublin, the Nebraska football team kicks off its home slate Sept. 3 versus the North Dakota Fighting Hawks.
Fans are reminded to arrive early and plan ahead to find an appropriate parking location, entrance gate, restroom, concession stand and postgame meeting place. They are also advised to stay hydrated and follow the instructions of security and safety officials.
The northeast corner of Memorial Stadium will be open this season, making all gates accessible.
Nebraska has a clear-bag policy for all ticketed sporting events. Each attendee will be allowed to enter with one clear bag: either a plastic, vinyl or PVC bag that does not exceed 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches or a one-gallon plastic freezer bag (Ziploc or similar). Small clutches — approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap — can be taken into the stadium along with one of the clear bags. The clutch cannot be larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Clear backpacks, string bags and fanny packs are prohibited.
Exceptions will be made for approved medical needs. Medical bags or equipment can be inspected and tagged at Gates 11 and 15 and at premium-level lobbies. For questions about medical equipment or other needs, contact the Nebraska Athletic Event Management and Operations Office at 402-472-1003 or click here.
All other purses and bags are prohibited. Guests carrying bags that do not meet the criteria will be asked to return them to their vehicles, hotel rooms or homes. Fans also may transfer their personal items into a provided, clear, Ziploc-style bag and discard the bag that does not meet the guidelines.
Guests can carry personal items in their pockets or jackets. These include keys, makeup, feminine products, combs, phones, wallets and credit cards. Attendees also may bring blankets into the stadium by carrying them over a shoulder or arm. Guests who don’t have a bag can use the express entry lanes at Gates 2, 4, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20.
