Why Was The Attendance So Low at This Year’s Husker Spring Game?

Springtime is a renewal-a rebirth if you will, Flowers bloom, grass grows and the naked winter trees come to life with new leaves.And for Nebraska football fans, the anticipation of getting to see their beloved team play a game, is a sort of a rebirth, too.NU fans don’t care if the game is “just” a scrimmage, They desperately need a football fix and spring games are just what the doctor ordered.To be sure, spring games are especially important for players looking to advance up the depth chart and for the coaches who are trying to evaluate the players they’ve recruited.Why are fans attracted to these scrimmages?Spring games have been and always will be family events. It’s a chance for the average fan who can’t afford season tickets, to take his entire family to a Husker football game. Many of those kids grow up to be loyal Husker fans.So Danny Boy, the Huskers did hold a spring game this year. What’s your complaint?Let’s take a look at the attendance for Nebraska spring games over the past ten years:
