The experience of traveling to rival stadiums is special

The great thing about being a sports writer is that your office is always where the team is playing.

As a writer for the Northern Star, most of the games I cover are either at Huskie Stadium or the Convocation Center, but during the 2019 football season I had a chance to follow the team on the road to a game at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Whether I’m a fan or a writer, it’s always fun to travel. It’s interesting to see the game from a different perspective, to see another school’s traditions and to go outside my comfort zone.
