A unique Husker gameday: What’s it like to do public address to no public? Was that the band on the field? | Football



“We have to draw a line between creating an environment for the players because they deserve it, versus not having fans in the stands, so we had to split resources really to the second screen to bring the game into people’s homes. Our feedback from the players and the parents of the players was that it felt like a gameday.”

To that end, NU’s streaming efforts racked up more than 90,000 views. They featured a pregame show with local television broadcaster Kevin Sjuts and former NU offensive lineman Jeremiah Sirles, and then in-game features like performances by the marching band and the Scarlets, who were let into Memorial Stadium on a Sunday when the football team was off to record their performances.

“I give a lot of credit to HuskerVision because not only are they running in-venue, but they’re also running the second screen and broadcasting on Facebook Live and Huskers.com for the fans, and they have some furloughs in their area, so that group really is spread thin and I thought they did an excellent job,” Klassy said.

The digital production is getting at least one addition this week: a halftime performance from country performer Runaway June.

“We want to find ways to keep engaging our fans, and when you have the best fans in the country, getting artists that want to perform for you is pretty easy,” Klassy said.
