Gameday is quickly approaching for Husker Nation. Before fans head to Memorial Stadium, a few reminders.

Traffic on Interstate-80 should move smoothly. At least two lanes are open the entire way from Omaha to Lincoln; however, expect a reduced speed limit from 56th Street to I-180 in Lincoln.

New this year is an experimental all-day, on-street parking meter option. Meters are enforced Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., but for a $9 fee, fans can purchase a hang-tag from the city to place in their vehicles allowing them to park all day without feeding the meter.

In addition to its regular routes, StarTran will provide its Big Red Express service on Husker game days starting two hours before kickoff from five locations:

  • Westfield Gateway, 61st and “O.” Buses load north of Penney’s
  • North Star High School, 5801 N. 33rd St. (six blocks east of N. 27th Street and Folkways Blvd.)
  • Holmes Lake, 70th and Normal, north end of the lake.
  • Southeast Community College, 8800 “O” St., parking lot on south side.
  • SouthPointe Pavilions, 27th and Pine Lake Road, south side of Von Maur

    Buses will drop-off and depart from the east side of the stadium. The cost is $4 each way for adults and $1 each way for children age 12 and under, and passengers will need exact change.

    There are two new changes at the stadium itself this year. All tickets will be scanned with an optical reader; allowing fans to re-enter with the ticket. 18,000 new chairback seats will be available for rentals. Outside chairbacks will not be allowed.
