Breaking News. Just heard we've moved our 2027 season opener to Arrowhead in KC against Miami of Ohio on Aug. 27th.
Back to Arrowhead!

- Start date
Woah..hold on here. Installing real seats with backs on them....like for real people? Wow.
LOL
Arrowhead is such a great venue for a game! We were there for Okie State and it was just absolutely incredible! I say that as a Chiefs season ticket holder at that time so I had been to Arrowhead numerous times but the atmosphere was just totally different from Chiefs game days. There is nothing like it as far as I am concerned (Husker mania, that is).
Couldn't agree more, Uenth.
We were at Arrowhead the night we played Okie State too. Fun game--uh, once it was over and I could breathe a sigh of relief. 
This move is right for a lot of reasons:
- We were originally scheduled for EIGHT home games when Memorial Stadium will be at a lower capacity due to the construction.
- As we witnessed last season against Cincy, Arrowhead will be a guaranteed sellout 'home' game.
- It reminds us Old Timers of the Big Eight days.
- Given the opponent, the venue will add a little extra ZING to our season opener.
- Metro Kansas City is a key recruiting target, one we need to dominate once again.
- It shows all those Tiger, Jayhawk and Kitty fans living in Kansas City who the really Big Dawg in Town still is.
- With another successful trip to Arrowhead, maybe another KC trip there with Mizzou or KU as our opponent could be a future Week 0 game. (fingers-crossed.)

All I'll say in a negative vein about that game was that it was absolutely a sign of things to come. That game was a nail biter far longer than it should have been. But dang, it was really fun!Couldn't agree more, Uenth.

Why would we give up a home game to play at Arrowhead???? I don't like this because the real losers are the businesses in Lincoln, especially the ones downtown who lose out on potentially millions of dollars in lost revenue. Our AD should never trade a home game to play in KC, or anywhere else. If the game is scheduled @ our opponents and they change to KC (or some other place) ok, fine. But I don't like this.
That's because you haven't been there. It was great, great, great. Sometimes change is good and this is one of those times, IMO!
Lincoln is going to get seven home games.
FYI, in the school's 137-year history we've only had four seasons with eight.
Wisconsin plays Notre Dame at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Baylor plays Auburn in Atlanta Falcons Mercedes Benz Stadium. Texas A&M plays Arkansas at Jerry World also Oklahoma St in past played Florida State there among others. See a trend here?
Miami of Ohio at Arrowhead, Really??? Why??? University of Miami as in Miami, Florida, Yasssss!

With the Big Red rebuild, the Huskers will probably break even, and more people can go to the game.
Something to ponder, what if instead of having xcld the Tennessee series they would've swapped the home games? So Tennessee scheduled to be in Lincoln next year giving NU their 8, then KC and Arrowhead called and said, "Hey, let's move that game to KC." Not only would the game sellout but the National buildup and attention on that game would be so much better for NU than the Miami, Oh game. Yes the game will still sellout as Husker fans will show but the hype around this game won't be nearly as high if say the opponent was Tennessee. NU IMO made a huge mistake dropping that series instead of swapping the dates of the home and home.
That's possible, but I'm saying a 1 for 1 swap. Don't move the dates. Just swap years for the home and home. My understanding is we never made that offer. I wouldn't be surprised if Tennessee made that offer as I know Tennessee AD Danny White said the cancelation of the series was not mutual and they wanted to play the games.
Here's a thought: Maybe we asked to postpone it for a few years for our stadium rebuild (as we agreed to a postponement for them) and their AD White (still butthurt from his UCF days) got dickish about it, said no, and turned a future scheduling conflict into a publicity stunt.
To SUH: In the words of Disney Princess, Elsa: "Let it go."
Rightous Red and Suh are you guys crazy? As tough as the B1G schedule is we can't possible schedule a team like Miami or Tennesse on our non con schedule. Thats just nuts. We need 3 cream puff for sure wins to start the season, we can't possible schedule a team we might lose too and chance not making a bowl game. Its really tough to get 6 wins in the B1G so we need those 3 wins to start the season.
Or something like that is what we were told by many on here when the Tennessee game was canceled.
