Nebraska Extends Football Sellout Streak as Donors Buy Out Fordham Tickets for Kids

Nebraska may be coming off a season-opening loss to Illinois and just 12-21 under head coach Scott Frost, but Saturday's game against Fordham will be a sellout.

Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts announced "two generous donors" purchased the remainder of the tickets for the game at Memorial Stadium to give children the opportunity to attend:

"We had two generous donors come forward and purchase the remaining tickets for the home opener so that we could provide those tickets to young people throughout the state.

"These donors have a strong commitment to Nebraska Athletics and understand our history and tradition.
