Stadium construction, roundabouts are new for Saturday
The East Stadium expansion project and new traffic roundabouts near Memorial Stadium will be the major changes Nebraska football fans will notice when the Cornhuskers open the 2011 season Sept. 3 vs. Tennessee-Chattanooga.
Construction of the East Stadium project means that some adjustments will have to be made by fans entering that side of the stadium. A new set of steps has been built on the northeast corner at Gate 16. Construction will continue during the season so some areas will be off limits to fans, but a large opening has been created in the middle portion of the East Stadium for fans to enter and then proceed to their respective gates. The pathway to gates 23 and 24 has been reduced, so fans who enter other gates are encouraged to avoid that area. Signage has been erected to help fans find the best way to their gate and seats.
