Nebraska’s spring game is scheduled for May 1.
While 50 percent stadium capacity for a spring game is normal for most big programs, it will limit Huskers fans. Nebraska routinely has the highest-attended spring game every season,
In 2019, the official attendance for Nebraska’s spring game was 85,946. A sold-out crowd would have been 90,000 fans.
If 45,000 (or more) fans are in attendance for Nebraska’s spring game, it might be the highest-attending sporting event in the country since the pandemic shutdown last March.
Moos also announced attendance capacities for several other sports at Nebraska:
Fan limits for Nebraska events:
Baseball 2700
Volleyball 2400
Softball 675
Soccer 675— Sam McKewon (@swmckewonOWH) March 24, 2021
The spring game will be Nebraska fans’ first chance to see the team in person since a 27-24 loss to Iowa on Nov. 29, 2019.
Spring practice is scheduled to begin on March 30.
