 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.   
Half-Time Prizes and Volunteer Staffed Locations 

The game for Saturday, October 17, 2015 has a 1:30 PM kickoff  and will be airing on ESPN2.  Please join us at one of our watch partner locations, listed below, to enjoy the game with other Huskers.  Those locations that have an * (asterisk) by them will have volunteers present for this game and will have memberships for sale, Coloradans for Nebraska merchandise, and half-time drawings. 

This week the drawings will be different at each volunteer staffed site. Come see what special item your favorite staffed site may have this week for half time prizes.

We are going to try something different with our half time drawings this year.  You get to choose what prizes you are interested in winning and can put your drawing ticket in the container for that specific prize.

Also, see below for specials or other information the watch partner locations would like you to be aware of. 

SPECIAL LOCATION THIS WEEK
For this game, Coloradans for Nebraska will have a Board member volunteer at the Old Chicago in Ft Collins on College Drive.  Come see Wendy in Ft Collins and participate in half time drawings, buy your Coloradans for Nebraska membership or light weight hoodie.  Or maybe one of the limited quantity Nebraska merchandise will be just right for you.


Food Drive 
The Big Ten Alumni Chapters will be holding a food drive from October 1st through October 17th.  Food donated in the Denver Metro area will be donated to The Food Bank of the Rockies and food donated in Colorado Springs will go to Care and Share.  

Bring your non perishable food to a watch partner location that is staffed by a volunteer and receive an extra ticket for the half time drawing for each item donated.
