Tailgating basics
- Nebraska state law (Chapter 53-186) bans drinking alcohol on state property, and UNL's parking page cites it.
- Fire code bans open flames inside parking garages (Stadium Drive, 14th & Avery, 17th & R, 19th & Vine).
- RVs aren't allowed in campus lots except for donor-club members or in the paid RV options above.
- The athletic department asks fans to tailgate responsibly, and intoxicated fans can be turned away at the gate.
- Off campus, the Haymarket bars (Barry's, The NZone, Leadbelly, Gate 25 in the Rail Yard) are the classic pregame spots. See Lincoln spots.
Bag policy
Only clear tote bags up to 12" x 6" x 12", or a one-gallon clear plastic bag, are allowed at ticketed Nebraska events. A small clutch up to 4.5" x 6.5" can go in with a clear bag. Coolers, glass, cans, chair backs and umbrellas are not allowed. See huskers.com.
