The Nebraska Athletic Department is offering Husker fans the opportunity to be a part of the Sea of Red Sellout for the 2020 football season. The Sea of Red Sellout, presented by First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO), gives fans a chance to fill Memorial Stadium virtually and collect commemorative items related to the 2020 season.
The Sea of Red campaign is one of two primary fan initiatives announced Thursday, as Nebraska will also offer fans a free second screen video stream featuring several game-day elements.
Fans have multiple options to participate in the Sea of Red virtual sellout, providing unique chances to be a part of game days at Memorial Stadium in 2020. Package options range from $25 to $1,000, with the most comprehensive package including two life-size cutouts placed in the Tunnel Walk, four fan cutouts in Memorial Stadium, 40 seats filled and four collector's items.
All proceeds from the season-long campaign will support Husker student-athletes and allow Nebraska Athletics to address the areas of greatest need during this challenging time. Fans who previously donated their 2020 season ticket and/or donation payments will count towards the sellout goal.

Nebraska will also connect with fans through a game-day video stream on Huskers.com and Facebook Live. The second screen production is designed to accompany the network television broadcast. It will feature video of pregame warmups, the Tunnel Walk, the Cornhusker Marching Band and Husker Spirit Squad, video shots of fan cutouts, and other HuskerVision game-day features. The stream will include pre-game and halftime studio segments and during the game will include the Husker Radio Network broadcast and give fans updated stats and information.
