Fans currently can file requests for single-game tickets to the other three home games, but they won’t be allocated or available to purchase until July.

The Fresno State game kicks off at 7 p.m. Sept. 3, and the Illinois game starts at 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 1. Kickoff times haven’t been set for the Purdue game Oct. 22 or the Maryland game Nov. 19.

Nebraska will start next season with an NCAA-record 347 consecutive sellouts. Crowds now exceed 90,000 since the East Stadium expansion project.

During a recent Huskers tour of the state that featured football coach Mike Riley and Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst, NU development officer Jack Pierce told a crowd in Columbus that the sellout streak was in jeopardy for three games last year, according to the Associated Press. Pierce said he had to call on friends of the program a few days before each of those games to handle tickets that had been returned by the opponent.

Mendenhall said if you look at industry standards, there are always returns as events draw closer. She said Nebraska fans are conditioned to know that game-week tickets often become available. She said development officers also can help and that “Jack is one of our better voices” and has a large number of friends.
