Nebraska is ready to pack the house.

The Huskers announced Wednesday morning that Memorial Stadium will officially be at 100% capacity for the upcoming season. The Nebraska Athletic Department made the announcement on Twitter, asking fans to extend the sellout streak to 376.

Nebraska’s first home game is Sept. 4 against Fordham. Memorial Stadium that day will be full for a football game for the first time since Nov. 29, 2019, when the Huskers hosted Iowa on Black Friday.

Wednesday’s announcement follows a trend of many other college programs announcing full capacity for the upcoming football season. NU recently announced volleyball matches at the Devaney Sports Center would be at full capacity, and the Athletic Department sold more than 86,000 tickets for a Garth Brooks concert set for Memorial Stadium on Aug. 14.

Outside of family members of players and staff, Nebraska played in front of empty stadiums during a 2020 season affected by COVID-19.
