Several years ago, Stan Meredith was invited to watch a Nebraska football game in Tom Osborne’s Memorial Stadium suite.
Wow, thought Meredith. This will be a chance to hang with The Coach during a game. Soak up some serious knowledge.
Not exactly.
“Tom said, ‘I better warn you: Once the game starts, I’m not very sociable,’” Meredith said.
A generation of Husker fans understand. Tailgating and gabbing are fine. But once the game starts, it’s time to get serious.
But could you imagine a “fan hospitality” area in Memorial Stadium, complete with giant Hi-Def TV’s, leather chairs, refreshments and charging stations?
