Get Your Group to Lincoln for Husker Games Without the I-80 Headache
Rather than splitting your group across four or five cars and fighting I-80 traffic all the way into Lincoln on a home-game Saturday, one charter bus keeps everyone together for the 100-mile ride east. Memorial Stadium (1 Memorial Stadium Dr, Lincoln, NE 68588) holds more than 85,000 fans and has been a sellout for decades — and the traffic around downtown Lincoln on game day is exactly what it sounds like. A full-size motorcoach with reclining seats and onboard WiFi turns the drive into part of the experience, and your group arrives and leaves together on a schedule that works for you.
