when Memorial Stadium's 100th season wraps up on Saturday, Nebraska football's home sellout streak will still be chugging along at 60-plus years and 389 games.
The Huskers' home finale against Wisconsin was listed as sold out early Thursday afternoon on the Nebraska Athletics ticket site. Just an hour earlier, about 70 seats remained unsold, so it appears several dozen tickets were purchased in bulk to secure sellout status.
Three weeks ago, it seemed a Wisconsin-Nebraska sellout was a lock with just 50 tickets unsold. Then things got a little weird, probably due to returned tickets from the Badgers' allotment. From 50, the number of available seats shot up to nearly 100, then shrank gradually to under 30, then popped back up to 100 just two days ago.
