The first-ever NEBRASKA volleyball game in Memorial Stadium means it's also a rare occasion when students can tailgate on a weekday.
Here a few tips we want you to follow to enjoy a safe and memorable time - do your part to have a safe game day experience.
- Plan a Safe Ride: If you choose to drink, be sure to have a sober driver or pre-arrange a sober ride home in advance, like a taxi or rideshare.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink water alongside any other beverages to stay hydrated.
- Eat Some Food: Grab a bite to eat; you’ll be happier and it’ll help absorb alcohol if drinking.
- Know How Much You’re Drinking: Whether you’re pouring a drink at a tailgate or purchasing drinks in the stadium, beverages may be larger than a standard drink (e.g., 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine, 1.5 oz for a shot of hard alcohol). Be sure to keep track to avoid over intoxication.
- Keep Emergency Numbers Handy: Put emergency numbers in your phone just in case.
- Respect Others: Be courteous to fellow fans and respect their space.
- Report Issues: If you see trouble, tell security or event staff immediately at 402-472-2222.
- Look Out for Friends: Keep an eye on your friends, and don't be afraid to help if they need it.
- Cross Streets Safely: Use crosswalks and obey traffic signals when walking.
