Planning
How to plan the trip
The order that saves the most money and the most stress.
- Lock the date first. Kickoff windows move, dates rarely do.
- Book refundable lodging before buying tickets, because rooms sell out faster than seats.
- Compare seat locations, not just price. Shade, wind and aisle access matter more than a few rows.
- Confirm the venue bag policy and payment rules before you leave the hotel.
- Plan the exit. Rideshare pickup zones are usually several blocks from the gates.

A sellout streak measured in decades and a crowd that applauds the visiting team on the way out.
- Downtown Lincoln is a ten minute walk, so park north and eat before the game.
- The tunnel walk is worth being in your seat 20 minutes early for.
