LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska sold out its spring game this week in less than 26 hours, a byproduct of the rampant enthusiasm that surrounds the December hire of native son Scott Frost as coach.
The Cornhuskers announced the sellout on Wednesday, 90 minutes after seats went on sale to the general public. Tickets were made available season-ticket holders on Tuesday morning. The school sold 57,342 tickets on the first day.
Memorial Stadium capacity is listed at 85,458. Tickets cost $10 for adults and were free for Nebraska students and children.
The Huskers have sold out 361 consecutive regular-season home games, an NCAA record.
