This is the first time in Fred Hoibergâs six seasons that the Huskers have hosted an open scrimmage for fans. The event will tip at 2 p.m. CDT. The Devaney Center will have a reduced capacity at approximately 6,000 seats. Concession stands will be open, and gates will open one hour before the scrimmage. The scrimmage itself will be a full-game simulation.
âWe wanted to do something a little different and give our fans a chance to see the team in action in a competitive setting before our exhibition game,â Hoiberg said. âHaving it in the Devaney Center will be a different experience for our players and provide a good environment. We had some memorable games with Coach Neeâs teams when I played at Iowa State, and I coached in the Devaney Center in Nebraskaâs final year in the Big 12.â
Fans can claim general admission tickets at Huskers.com/Tickets beginning Wednesday, Oct. 2, at 10 a.m. CDT. Students can reserve a limited number of Red Zone seats beginning Wednesday, Oct. 2, at noon, and students can visit Huskers.com/students for more information on how to claim their tickets. Current season-ticket holders should check their email for a special pre-sale event on Tuesday, Oct. 1. There is a limit of six tickets per account.Â
Free parking will be available for the scrimmage in the lots around the Devaney Center and on Innovation Campus.
The Red-White Scrimmage is the second of two preseason fan events in advance of the 2024-25 season. Opening Night will take place in the Railyard on Canopy Street on Friday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. CDT. That event is also open to the public. Â
Nebraska returns seven letterwinners, including three starters, from a team that went 23-11 and reached the 2024 NCAA Tournament. All regular-season home games, as they have since 2013, will be played at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
