Super Official Nebraska/Akron Game Day Thread.

Going to my first game in years. What time should I leave Omaha to get in my seat by 6pm?

There's A LOT to unpack with your question, PD.

First off, arriving at 6 PM gets you inside the stadium only minutes before the marching band takes the field. IMO, that doesn't allow you time to: a) rent your seat backs; b) get yourself a Runza and a beer; c) watch any of the warm-ups; or d) soak up the pre-game atmosphere. Personally, I get my butt inside as soon as the gates open but if I were you, I'd shoot for a 5:30 stadium arrival time.

Secondly, the traffic on I-80 between Omaha and Lincoln is notoriously slow on game days. To be safe, I'd allow an extra hour in case the traffic stalls. And unless you've already worked out where you're parking, you never know how long finding a spot will take or how far you'll have to walk to get to the stadium.

So, all things considered, I suggest you leave Omaha by 3:30 PM to be on the safe side. :)
 
I misread it...I thought it said "Superficial" game vs. Akron...because it is. :-)
