Memorial Stadium

Where is the greatest place to be on a Saturday afternoon…the home to the best fans in all of college football? Where can you find 86,000 people in red, hooping and hollering for the same purpose? Memorial Stadium. For most Nebraskans there is nowhere else they would rather be watching football than in that stadium. Being raised around Nebraska football for my entire life, it is an amazing feeling being able to attend games. There is such an amazing sense of tradition and pride inside of that stadium. That is why I think it is one of the best structures in all of Nebraska.
After reading the assignment for the first time I knew exactly where I was going to go. I attended Memorial Stadium to watch the number one USC Trojans battle our Nebraska cornhuskers. The atmosphere was amazing the entire day around Lincoln. The entire city was buzzing with the thought of the game that night. It is awesome to think that a structure like the football stadium can pull so many people together for the same purpose. Everyone should experience that feeling of walking into that stadium full of screaming fans. Not only is the stadium a top of the line stadium it is filled with the pride and history. While sitting at the game there were two people next to me who were there for the first time. While talking to them about the experience the man summed it up the best by saying, “There is no better place”. It is true that there is no better place to watch football or be with friends and family. Memorial stadium is a major part of Lincoln, brining in people from all over the state. The accessibility of the stadium and games is what makes this such a great place. We don’t just have to talk about Memorial stadium we can go and be a part of the tradition. I strongly encourage everyone to attend a game in memorial stadium because there is no way to explain the atmosphere, feelings, or intensity.
