Generous donors help keep the Nebraska Cornhuskers' home-game sellout streak alive

Nebraska's proud sellout streak will survive another week.

The Cornhuskers announced on Tuesday that the Fordham game on Saturday will be its 376th consecutive sellout of Memorial Stadium (capacity of 85,000), continuing a streak that dates to the Bob Devaney era in 1962.

The remaining tickets that were purchased will go to a new program Nebraska started called the Red Carpet Experience, which provides tickets and a small meal to children in eighth grade or younger.

"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," Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts said.
