[Husker] Gator Bowl: Nebraska vs. Clemson

[Mike Jaixen]

The Nebraska ticket office has announced that they are now selling Gator Bowl tickets; if you are interested in going to the Gator Bowl, I'd either call them at 1-800-8BIGRED or go to huskers.com and check them first.  

The message does not indicate that sales are limited to boosters or season ticket holders, but I'd expect that those people will probably get the best of Nebraska's allotment.  That still is likely to be better than what is available on the open market.  Here are the details of the message:

"It is all but certain that Nebraska will be playing in the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl," Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe said. "Formal Big 12 procedures prevent the conference from making an official announcement until Sunday afternoon. We are aware that fans from all of our schools, including Nebraska, want to begin making plans to attend these contests."
 
Nebraska Athletic Director Tom Osborne encouraged Nebraska fans to purchase tickets from the school’s allotment of 12,750 tickets for the Gator Bowl.
 
"The seats the Gator Bowl has set aside for the participating schools are in excellent locations, and we want our fans to get a chance to purchase those tickets as soon as possible,"Osborne said. "Our fans have always supported us very well in past bowl games and we hope there will be outstanding support for our matchup with Clemson in the Gator Bowl."
