Memorial Stadium

I don't think you can grow up in Nebraska and never see Memorial Stadium. I have only ever been to one Husker game in my entire life but every time I watch a game the feeling that you get when you are in the stadium comes back to me. To hear the roar of the crowd, see the sea of red, and feel the excitement in the air makes everything come alive. It's amazing to see the devotion of the Nebraska fans. No matter how badly they lose, how bad the season was, or how bad of plays Callahan called everyone is always behind them one hundred percent.
To see the stadium gave me chills. To know that history is made in side those walls. To see the structure of the building and know that there is nothing greater than a Husker and God in the state of Nebraska. I love watching the Husker games. I love the excitement I get when the Huskers score a touchdown. Being around friends and family during a Husker game is just a way of life.
When I see the stadium it's hard not to think about some 80,000 fans screaming in the stands. When I went to see the stadium Sunday night it was eerie to think that the night before Nebraska played USC and although they did lose, I still love them. They are still my team and I still support them. It was so much fun seeing Memorial Stadium, standing in the front with the statues of the football players, looking at when they won national championships and knowing that Nebraska fans are the greatest fans in college football.
