Really they need to figure out how to take StubHub out of the equation.

Tonight, on a new ESPN 30 for 30: What if I told you.... sellouts were suddenly...a bad thing?

For everything? I hate scalpers just as much as the next person but that isn't something that is going to be solved at the Lincoln, Nebraska level. That's a national issue.
Memorial is the only large stadium in the state. UNK's only seats ~5200. Omaha metro venues are all under 10K as I understand it. An open practice would overwhelm these places. And taking the HUSKER 18 wheeler out with all the equipment would not be cheap, but would be good PR.
yep its for the Trojan trophyY'all know that if the Scarlet wine one game & the Cream wins the other then there will have to be a 'rubber game!'

Hey, I will be in Paris 1st week of April
That game was a guaranteed sellout from the get-go, it could have been sold out within a few days without the controversy. The AD screwed the pooch, but I'm glad he recognized it and is working to fix it.
Come on Skunk, I'm not begrudging anyone for getting tickets through the method that the University used. But that game was a slam dunk sellout. I'm just saying that they clearly received enough negative feedback to know they screwed up and need to do something to kinda sorta try to fix it.

Fascinating stuff. We have some big venues in DC - c'mon out.
Boy, the first play that is really screwed up because half the team doesn't know where to go will really be shocking to the sold out stadium. A rebuild is really tough. I'm not sure this is the year to do a second spring scrimmage to which the public is invited.

1. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
2. There's a very real possibility that next year's spring game won't be a sellout. This year's demand for tickets was part of the Frost Phenomenon that most likely will dissipate some after a full season.

I'm not sure I could be less concerned about something than I am the bold.
Nailed both points. I’m not crazy about satiating the temporary demand to see the Huskers practice, but that’s just me.
predicting future demand becomes somewhat dicey. It’s an inexact science...

Maybe they should give the “ticket brokers” first crack at the tickets and cut out the middle man. Limit of 20k tickets of course.
Speaking of ridiculous prices, has anyone checked out TicketExpress? Their prices range from $99-$875. An awful lot of blocks of 20 in their selection as well. Makes one wonder how many season ticket accounts these scalpers errr brokers have?
