“Now instead of saying, ‘Go Big Red,’ I’m going to say, ‘Come Big Red,’ come back to our venues, because you can finally,” Moos said Wednesday evening, noting that he and UNL Chancellor Ronnie Green have been pushing for local control over attendance since September. 

All of that means, among other things, that the baseball program could play in front of a sizable crowd as soon as Friday afternoon. 

“I’m happy for our players. Obviously, we’re all excited, but I’m happy for our players. They’ve been through a lot in the last year, had a lot of things taken away,” NU baseball coach Will Bolt said shortly after the announcement. “But to have a little sense of normalcy this weekend, to have some Husker fans in the stands. … Very excited for the prospect of having that happen.”

Count the softball team among those pumped to be playing in front of spectators again. The team played in front of family members during games in Florida earlier this month.

NU softball coach Rhonda Revelle said her team will do meditations before practices, and the team used a recent session to prep for the roar of the crowd.

“I had them visualize managing their adrenaline in case we had fans in the stands, because it’s been over a year since we played in front of people,” Revelle said Wednesday.
