I get they say tickets sold, but I really wish some investigative reporter would look into this. I know it still makes Nebraska feel relevant, but man oh man there were PLENTY of empty seats.

Yeah, it’s a bait and switch. Wide swaths of unsold seats that go unsold are bought by corporate interests and boosters as another way to donate to that program. It’s a sell out in name only. It wouldn’t bother me so much except Nebraska trumpets it as some fan loyalty thing, when in reality the stadium is at full capacity about the same as kinnick or camp Randall are.
The whole thing is a fantasy.

Oh I get it, but it gets old that they use this as the best fans in the nation argument or their fans like to throw it in your face like it’s some badge of honor.

Does this surprise anyone? They are going to cling to whatever makes them relevant. Somehow these idiots think because they can claim 500 sell outs that it somehow makes what's going on in the games tolerable. Idiots.
a lot the lower IQ Nebraska fans (probably 50%) don’t understand the issue with sellout vs capacity crowds. It’s just willful blindness like everything else emanating out of Lincoln

I have never been to Memorial stadium but for who that have been what is the atmosphere like compared to some of the other venues? Regardless if they have all the sellouts does the crowd make it that much more of an intimidating place to play or are they a bunch of hand sitters and old timers like the people that fill TCF stadium

Yes, it doesn't stop at the sellout thing. It's just one of the rides that are part of Fantasyland at Nebraska.

I’m happy so many Iowa fans could help them get their 838th straight home sellout.

They claim it’s an amazing environment, but honestly I think Kinnick is louder when the crowd gets jacked.
No such thing as an amazing environment when your team is 4-8 or 5-7. I’m sure it was rocking and awesome playing against Colorado in 1994

Or the Cubs' dynasty streak. Never happened.
It doesn't have to be real or accurate, just so people believe it is real and accurate, that's the goal. And if you say it enough...well, there you have it. Works on most levels of life.

No Cub fan brags about something that doesn't exist. But Cardinals do brag about their half filled stadiums being "sell outs".
