Nebraska will not only take its football team but also its marching band to Ireland in 2021 when the Huskers open the season in Dublin against Illinois, according to a copy of the contract between NU and Irish American Events Limited obtained by the Journal Star.

The contract stipulates that Nebraska will bring a minimum 70 cheerleaders and band members on the trip amid several other standard disclaimers about travel, tickets and compensation.

Other interesting tidbits: The contract says the Aer Lingus charter flight direct from Lincoln to Dublin — paid for by IAEL — is slated to leave on Tuesday, Aug. 24, though head coach Scott Frost said Tuesday that he wasn't sure what exactly the Huskers' schedule would look like at this point and quipped, "I'm just trying to get through the bye week."
