Blankets at Memorial Stadium

[NebChicago]

coming to the game this weekend with a 5 and 6 yr old. My wife wants to know if we’re allowed to bring a blanket in the stadium?

Also what fun stuff is there for kids to do before game?

A sentence in this article says that blankets slung over the shoulder can be carried in. Pretty much everything else needs to fit a 12x6x12inch clear plastic bag (one per person).

Not sure if they will have the kid games prior to game due to weather.

Can you bring like a bigger Cannon camera into stadium?

I thought this thread was about our cornerbacks.

Yes, you can bring in blankets. I'd suggest it as well. Have them wear longjohns if you have them. Legs will get cold.

My daughters are weenies. I think they will be in long johns, snow pants, and have hand warmers.

 

[NebChicago]

30 degrees on Sat, right?

As far as I know you can carry almost anything in that you are willing to carry except items prohibited.

Hopefully this helps

Definitely saw people with blankets on tv last week

She will be tougher than 1/2 of the NEB student body who didn't show up for the Illinois game.

cut some holes in a sleeping bag and wear it in as a coat...

I want to bring in my electric heated blanket. Anyone know if there are power receptacles in North Stadium, Section 36, near Row 25? I have a 100' extension cord?

Just sneak in some fireball.

Wear thermal Warm socks too.. plenty of time my feet get cold like a day last Saturday before anywhere else..

Back in my day, we didn't have no Fireball.
People had to wait in line on Friday outside the north stadium to get some moonshine.
We didn't have blankets either.
To stay warm, you had to line up on Friday and stand in line outside the south stadium with a burlap bag.
There was a guy shearing sheep, once he ran out of wool, you only had the burlap bag to keep you warm.

Used to do the same thing with Amigos soft tacos.

I hope the “cold” doesn’t keep attendance down - the optics were bad last week having the announcers touting the sell out streak while there were sizable patches of empty seats visible in the background during their discussion.

 

[dand84]

I was perfectly fine with lower attendance. So much more room. We could all spread out and finally be comfortable for at least one home game

Agree ... just covertly change the sellout streak sign without all the hoopla and fanfare when there are clear patches of empty seats visible to all

 

[dand84]

Eh? Sellout is tickets sold, not attendance. Never has been, never will be attendance. The sellout won't end in our lifetimes unless something really drastic happens.

There have been empty seats at the stadium since I've been going to games regularly in the 80s, especially in the student section and/or the visitor sections. There are also a bazillion ticket holders tailgating right outside, especially on cold or hot days, watching on their big screen tellies.

Worse thing NEB has done are all these stupid stadium expansions in the last 20 years that ruined a perfectly good stadium and wonderful atmosphere.

I guess we've just turned a post about blankets into a post about the sellout again. Sorry everyone.

I am

I am sure it will be sparse. Lots of reasonable price tickets available
