A limited number of reserved tickets in Memorial Stadium's club level are available for the annual Red-White Spring Game on Saturday, April 19, Nebraska Director of Ticket Operations John Anderson announced.
The spring game represents the best opportunity for the general public to watch a Husker game from the club-level seating, located on the third level of the West Stadium. The tickets are available online at Huskers.com or by calling the Athletic Ticket Office at 1-800-8 BIG RED. Cost of the reserved club level tickets is $8 each.

All other tickets to the Red-White game are general admission. An adult general admission ticket is $5, with youth (under 6, free) and senior citizen tickets priced at $3 each. All students willing to take the Drug Free Pledge at halftime will be admitted to the game for free, but adults accompanying the children will be asked to buy the $5 ticket. Those students who plan to take part in the Drug Free Pledge will sit in the North Stadium and will be required to check-in at the Ed Weir Track between 10:30 a.m. and 12:10 p.m. to obtain admission passes.
Kickoff for Nebraska's spring game is set for 12:30 p.m. on April 19, and Memorial Stadium gates will open at 11 a.m. for the contest. Tickets are available in advance on Huskers.com, but may also be purchased on game day outside the stadium. Ticket booths will be set up at all four corners of the stadium, and tickets may also be purchased at the ticket office in the Stadium Drive Parking Garage.
Fans are encouraged to arrive for the spring game early to secure parking for the day. In addition to the football spring game, Nebraska's nationally ranked baseball and softball teams will also be in action at Haymarket Park. The Husker baseball team will take on defending national champion Texas in a 4:05 p.m. game at Hawks Field, with the softball squad matching up with Oklahoma State, beginning at 5 p.m. at Bowlin Stadium. A spring game football ticket is also good for general admission seating to the softball game.
The 2003 spring game will not be televised, but can be heard statewide on Pinnacle Sports Network radio affiliates.
