Why the hell would UNL do that?McMurphy isn't exactly a rock of journalistic integrity but suppose he may be capable of being accurate on occasion

I'm glad NU made a statement about it.  I'm looking forward to that game and would have been sad to see it go.

That would have cost Nebraska their coconuts.

Nebraska will have fans at Haymarket Park on Friday.

Husker fans will have a chance to see the volleyball team in person next weekend and the football team at Memorial Stadium for the Red-White Spring Game on May 1.

The Big Ten on Wednesday morning formalized a move that's been expected for a couple of days now, announcing that all attendance decisions for regular-season competitions can be made by schools in conjunction with local health officials, effective immediately.

That's a sizable change, as the Big Ten's Council of Presidents and Chancellors have had the controls for the past year and had not allowed any of the 14 member schools to host general fans for the past year-plus.

Shortly after the league announcement, NU said it plans have fans back at Haymarket Park this weekend for the baseball program's home-opening series against Minnesota and for all other Husker sporting events moving forward this spring.

It was not immediately clear where attendance limits will fall, though outdoor capacities typically are expected to be higher than indoor events such as volleyball.

Nebraska has sold more than half of its available tickets for the May 1 Red-White Spring Game at Memorial Stadium.

More than 24,000 tickets had been sold as of early this week, an NU spokesperson confirmed to the Journal Star, marking steady if not overwhelming demand.

Nebraska is currently planning on 50% capacity at Memorial Stadium for the spring game, which puts the cap for ticket sales in the neighborhood of 42,500.
