Nebraska's Memorial Stadium is known for a decades-long sellout streak that dates to Bob Devaney's first season in 1962 and is a point of pride across the state. The stadium in Lincoln opened in 1923 and seats 85,458. The Cornhuskers, one of college football's most storied programs, now compete in the Big Ten. The program played its first season in 1890, and its colors are scarlet and cream. The Cornhusker Marching Band provides the game-day soundtrack, and Herbie Husker and Lil' Red are the mascots. The fight song is "Hail Varsity." Below is the complete schedule, updated with kickoff times and channels once they are set.
