Memorial Stadium will officially be at 100% capacity for the upcoming 2021 season. The University made that announcement yesterday. Nebraska’s nation leading sellout streak, which currently stands at 375 straight games, was put on pause during the 2020 season. The Huskers’ last home game at full capacity was a 27-24 loss to Iowa on Nov. 29, 2019. With the sellout streak in mind, Nebraska is now offering three-game home ticket packages for $195, with only the Ohio State game excluded. Games available in the Mini Plan include matchups against Fordham (Sept. 4th), Buffalo (Sept. 11th), Northwestern (Oct. 2nd), Michigan (Oct. 9th), Purdue (Oct. 30th) and Iowa (Nov. 26th).
JoJo Domann is ranked 43rd in the list of top players in the country by Pro Football Focus. Domann led Nebraska with 58 tackles last season in eight games, and added five pass breakups and two forced fumbles. Earlier this summer, Domann was included on the Lott IMPACT Trophy watch list for the coming season. That award is given annually to the country’s most versatile defender.
