[Husker] Away Game Ticket Invoices

[Rod Wellman]

Maybe they base it off of their feeling of the level of desire of Husker fans for attending each game.  I'd say they nailed it:

Most appealing to least appealing:

1.  Huge interest in Wisky, for all the obvious reasons (I'll be there)
2.  Minneapolis is close.  Guaranteed (well, you know what I mean) win.  Nice, new stadium.  Shouldn't be an overly pricey trip.
3.  Michigan in the Big House during a year in which we should beat them. But further to travel than Minnesota.  And, although I toyed with the idea of going to this game, I decided to wait until the next time we play them, hoping there is more on the line at that point.
4.  Wyoming...proximity is attractive.  Beautiful area.  Small cozy stadium.  Non conference game that should be a walk-through, so the game itself is not the main attraction here.
5.  Penn State...far, far away. Not a great experience for most Husker fans last time we were there.  Penn State will be tough...there's a chance Husker fans who travel to this game will have to endure not only another loss but the guaranteed "Colorado-like" rude treatment from Penn State fans.  Not fun.
