Through these gates — er, that gate — will soon pass the greatest Pokémon trainers in Nebraska.

Nebraska Athletic Department officials will open a single entrance -- Gate 11 -- to Memorial Stadium from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday to accommodate Pokémon Go players eager to capture animated monsters at the venerated field.

"Guys, you don't need to jump the fence to catch Pokémon at the stadium," the Huskers said in a tweet Tuesday.

That has been a problem.

Monday night, stadium staff ushered out "a good number" of people who sneaked in during band camp, said Matt Tomjack, the Huskers' director of marketing and fan experience.

Tomjack himself stopped a few people trying to jump the fences while he was out running around the field.

They were all searching for wild Pokémon, which appear on people's smartphones when they play the popular new game in certain locations. Pokémon Go launched in the U.S. on Wednesday and quickly became the top-grossing iPhone app.

"Apparently there's quite a few of the little critters on the field," Tomjack said Tuesday.
