Memorial Stadium , the site of Nebraska's NCAA-record sellout streak.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers football sellout streakcollege football sellout streak. Nebraska has sold out 403 consecutive games at Memorial Stadium , an NCAA record for any sport that dates to 1962. Every game of the sixty-three-year streak has been played at Memorial Stadium , Nebraska's home venue since 1923. Nebraska's record during the streak is 326–77.
Nebraska dominated at Memorial Stadium in the early years of the sellout streak, going 233–29 at home under Bob Devaney , Tom Osborne , and Frank Solich . NU won forty-seven consecutive home games from 1991 to 1998, among the longest home win streaks in college football history. The streak has traditionally been a source of pride for the program and its supporters, but has been criticized following Solich's 2003 firing as Nebraska has occasionally struggled to fill Memorial Stadium and been forced to sell bulk tickets to donors and sponsors to keep the streak alive.
Bob Devaney was hired in 1962 and quickly turned around Nebraska's program, which had been mired in a two-decade slump following World War II . NU won Devaney's first six games and hosted Missouri on November 3, 1962. The Tigers won 16–7 in front of a crowd of 36,501, the first game of the sellout streak.[ 1] [ 2]
Tom Osborne succeeded Devaney in 1973 and continued the program's dominance at Memorial Stadium. Nebraska celebrated its hundredth consecutive sellout on September 15, 1979 against Utah State , though this was actually number ninety-nine. Sellout 100 came two weeks later, a 42–17 win over Penn State .[ 3] [ 2] 1983 season . The streak persisted relatively untested through most of Osborne's tenure, but was threatened in 1990 when declining enrollment meant Nebraska nearly did not sell its entire allotment of student tickets.[ 4] [ 2]
The streak reached 200 on October 29, 1994, a dominant win for Nebraska over second-ranked Colorado ; the Cornhuskers leapt to No. 1 and won Osborne's first consensus national title in January.[ 5] Frank Solich 's first season as head coach, when Texas became the first unranked team to win in Lincoln since NU's 1981 victory over Colorado. Solich's team began another lengthy home win streak, highlighted by a 2001 win over Oklahoma in the first regular season No. 1 versus No. 2 game in BCS history.[ a] [ 6]
Nebraska vs. Florida Atlantic on Aug. 30, 2014, the 334th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium . Nebraska's stretch of seventy-three wins in seventy-four games ended in 2002. Solich was fired in 2003 after a 38–7 loss to Kansas State , NU's first home loss by more than two possessions since the sellout streak began.
Recent criticism and close calls [ edit ] The sellout streak, traditionally a source of pride for the program and its supporters, has been criticized in the years since Solich's dismissal as Nebraska has struggled on the field and occasionally in the stands.[ 7] [ 8] 2007 season to thousands of empty seats, prompting Osborne to worry about the streak's survival: "they're relatively loyal, more than most any place around the country. But they're human. If you have sustained losing seasons, anybody gets discouraged."[ 9] [ 7] [ 2]
Nebraska's performance at Memorial Stadium continued to decline under Scott Frost – the Cornhuskers went 12–20 at home between 2017 and 2022, and the number of tickets scanned was often far below capacity.[ 2] Fordham ; though many were returned from Fordham's allotment, it was one of several bulk sales required to keep the streak alive.[ 10] Trev Alberts called the "Red Carpet Experience."[ 10] Indiana .[ 11]
The sellout streak reached 400 in 2024, a 31–24 overtime loss to Illinois in the first matchup of ranked teams at Memorial Stadium since 2013.[ 2] Oklahoma at 153).[ 12] [ 13]
