Lincoln, Neb. – When the Huskers take the field for the first home game against Arkansas State on September 2nd in Memorial Stadium, all fans will have access to a new captioning program that will enhance the football game-day experience for hearing impaired fans and for anyone who has ever missed the referee’s call or the PA announcement. All PA and big screen programming and announcements (play descriptions, scoring, player information, referee and penalty announcements, in-game promotions, entertainment action, advertising videos, emergency messaging, and post-game messages) will be transcribed and distributed to all fans via Twitter at @HuskerCaption.
