Nebraska Husker football games are known to be legendary. Here are a few things you learn when attending a Husker football game in Lincoln.

1. Everyone wears red

There’s a reason why “Go Big Red” is a thing. Also why it’s literally a "sea of red" in the stadium. Don’t be that one jerk that wears something other then red. People will stare. People will judge. You will be sad.

2. Tail-gating is a must

If you are 21 or older, then you should for sure participate in some tailgating. Heck! Even if you aren’t, you should still join in! The area surrounding the stadium is literally one giant party leading up to the game. Drinks, dancing, music, lively people…what could be better?

3. Even if you hate football, it’s an experience

People aren’t kidding when they tell you that you need to experience a Husker football game. It’s seriously insane. Not only are the people super excited about there team, but everyone and their mom shows up. The Huskers have had over 300 consecutive sold-out games.

4. Don’t be terrified

So there’s this chant/prayer thing that happens at the start of the game. It’s a little terrifying at first. But don’t worry, it’s not actually the start of a horror movie…it just kind of sounds like it when 90,000 people are chanting.

5. If you hear someone chant...

If you hear someone yell, “GO! BIG! REEEEDDDDDDD!” You must respond in a timely and equally loud manner “Go Big Red!” This is an important aspect of the game, and if you have not done this then you did not truly attend the game.

6. Fireworks

Don’t be surprised if there are fireworks after every single touchdown. It’s a thing that happens.

7. Even if the call is true, expect angry screams.

If the ref gives the Huskers a penalty (even if it’s well-deserved), people are going to shout and scream their little corn heads off. Join them. Otherwise you might be taken as a traitor.

8. It’s time to sit back and enjoy

If you hate football, Nebraska and large crowds, you should still attend a Husker game. It’s essentially a massive party and celebration. The people here love their team and while it does borderline with some culty things, it’s actually pretty cool.
