Droves of Husker fans celebrate at Scheels tailgate event in Lincoln

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Husker fans traveled to Scheels’ parking lot Friday evening to celebrate the team before its matchup against Georgia Southern.

The event offered several food vendors and food trucks for the fans.

Kids also got to have some fun with a climbing wall, bouncing castles and even a zip line.

The event, which lasted from 4 to 7 p.m., also had Husker signs available for purchase.  Some of them were even signed by legendary Nebraska coach Tom Osborne.

Proceeds from those signs will go to Osborne’s TeamMates Foundation.

Nebraska will face Georgia Southern at Memorial Stadium at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
