Where to Watch Games When Traveling
There are chapters of the Nebraska Alumni Association throughout the world. There's a good possibility there may be a chapter or spirit group near your destination away from home so you can enjoy the game at another Sea of Red. To find watch locations, vist the Nebraska Alumni Site and choose the region you will be traveling too. Chapters always enjoy out of town guests! And if your travels take you to Cheyenne, WY, or if you live in Cheyenne, Old Chicago at 1734 Meadowland Drive (307-634-3400) would be happy to be your watch location.

Watch Partner Locations
What Does it Mean
We know that people would like a watch partner location within walking distance to their home. We know that people would like volunteers at all watch partner locations so there are drawings and more. Due to certain requirements for partners (insurance, donations, discounts) as well as a limited number of volunteers, the Co4NU Board decided providing our members with more choices in where to watch games, and the ability to receive discounts year round off of regular priced food and drink would be the best compromise than limit the number of sites to only 5 or 6 in Colorado to watch Husker football games. This is why not all of our watch partner locations will look or feel the same, and why some locations may only be a handful of people and others may be hundreds. All watch partner locations will provide an area with a select number of televisions tuned to the game as well as sound whenever possible.
If you are looking for something more than a place to watch Husker football, which is what all of our Watch Partner Locations guarantee, please review those locations that have volunteers present. You can also think about volunteering for a location as well if you would like to help a Watch Partner Location be more than just a place to watch Husker football.

To see our current partner locations by city from north to south front range or the additional locations that you may receive a membership discount, click here. Please note, Coloradans for Nebraska is no longer partnering with Fox and Hound. Fox and Hound made a decision that they no longer wanted to provide a discount to Coloradans for Nebraska Members nor provide a donation to the Co4NU Scholarship Fund. The Board of Directors decided we wanted your membership to continue to have value at all of our partner locations so have secured new locations for our members to enjoy games and discounts. We are happy that our new corporate sponsor, Old Chicago, has stepped forward in two regions of Colorado to provide our members many places to utilize member discounts.
