Memorial Stadium, nicknamed The Sea of Red, is an American football stadium located on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska. The stadium primarily serves as the home venue for the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team and a variety of other university and state activities. Memorial Stadium was built in 1923 for $450,000 and a capacity of 31,080 to replace Nebraska Field, where the Cornhuskers played home games from 1909 to 1922. The first game at the new stadium was a 24–0 Nebraska victory over Oklahoma on October 13, 1923. A series of expansions has raised the stadium's capacity to 85,458, but attendance numbers have in the past exceeded 90,000. Nebraska has sold out an NCAA-record 387 consecutive games at Memorial Stadium, a streak that dates back to 1962. Lincoln is a vibrant city with excellent recreational opportunities and plenty of entertainment options to choose from. Enjoy quaint shops in the downtown area, trails and other activities in Cherry Creek, and art galleries, theaters, and museums throughout the city. Don't forget to sample some of the famous steaks at Gloria's Bar & Grill! Whatever the event, Memorial Stadium is an essential stop for any visitor to the Lincoln area. The warmth of the Sea of Red and its unbeatable stadium atmosphere make it a can't-miss venue for all die-hard Cornhuskers fans, as well as anyone seeking an exciting sporting experience.
