I checked the IU website for available tickets for Nebraska, and there are a handful of tickets left for the West stands and not much more available in the East stands. My estimate for available seats would be 400.
The stands will be full of red next weekend. I want IU fired up to take to Nebraska and beat them like they did to UCLA.I checked the IU website for available tickets for Nebraska, and there are a handful of tickets left for the West stands and not much more available in the East stands.

You must be a blast at parties…Hopefully the city and university are adequately prepared for a sell-out crowd and manage traffic effectively.
The difference in crowd management, and traffic, will likely be negligible. IU has a pretty robust tail gate scene. A chunk of that difference between 40K butts in the seats and all 50+K butts in the seats will just be people actually coming in from the tailgates.Hopefully the city and university are adequately prepared for a sell-out crowd and manage traffic effectively.
Does this mean the IU admin finally figured out how to get fannies in the seats? Lol.
It's pretty simple. Just win baby and they will come.
Hopefully the last push was mostly Crimson, and not boring Scarlet.Sold out!
Hope so, I get nervous when it’s easy for Nebraska to buy tickets. If they’re only 10% that’s not bad.Hopefully the last push was mostly Crimson, and not boring Scarlet.
That last point is the key. I feel like we as a program have had moments where it feels like we’re building to the crescendo and then we fall flat. Now, my hope is as fans we can continue to rally behind them either way, but I think it would go a long way for the our fans to nab this one against Nebraska. The games that follow are big as well, but I think to follow up the energy of that Maryland game with a big win in front of a sold out crowd would be huge to firm up the softer areas of our fan base.Nebraska will be a great crowd and so will Michigan. UW has some work to do with ticket sales, but it should get close to a sell out or maybe sell out. It would be awesome to win a few of these games in front of these strong home crowds and convert the folks in attendance to people who keep coming back. Exciting to be in this position.
Yes, Nebraska fans that make the trip will also be wearing red. Memorial Stsdium will look great all in red and as far as I can recall this might be the first time it’ll be to capacity since both end zones have been closed. Unless there was an OSU game where it happened? Anyway, first with mostly IU fans in the stands.The stands will be full of red next weekend.

This is so true, for all the momentum IU built in 2019 & 2020, they didn't have any marquee victories in front of the fans. The 2019 home W's were blowouts against bottom tier B1G teams and 2020 was obviously Covid. It feels like if we as fans ever got to leave Memorial Stadium after beating a team that's not perceived as mediocre to bad, many of the casuals would see the fun in going to IU games, thus being far more inclined to come back.Nebraska will be a great crowd and so will Michigan.

Nebraska returned tickets to IU from their allotment!Hope so, I get nervous when it’s easy for Nebraska to buy tickets. If they’re only 10% that’s not bad.

Well our fans will just need to bring enough energy that any doubts are put to bed!The only bad thing about the sellout is you know we're going to hear in many media reports or on other forums from outside Indiana, that it was Nebraska that filled up the stadium. Too bad they aren't some other color, heh.
Well, there were a lot of red OSU fans at Oregon last night too. Not a big deal that teams travel well.The only bad thing about the sellout is you know we're going to hear in many media reports or on other forums from outside Indiana, that it was Nebraska that filled up the stadium.

Nothing wrong with it at all! It'll be a blast for those that can be there. Hoosier fans will be louder and rocking. When a good contingent of opposing fans are there, it signals 'Big Game'.Well, there were a lot of red OSU fans at Oregon last night too. Not a big deal that teams travel well.
OSU sells out every year. Other games have also sold out, it's just been a few years.Yes, Nebraska fans that make the trip will also be wearing red.

The week before the 2016 Nebraska game the Hoosiers lost to Ohio State by three touchdowns. They also had lost to Wake Forest. There has to be a good bit more optimism with this 6-0 start.The last time Nebraska was at IU (2016) they were ranked 10th and the crowd was 48K, over 4K away from a sellout.
So, Nebraska isn’t an automatic sellout. There is a good chance the difference between 2016 and the sellout now is IU fans buying tickets.
