Nebraska football: Huskers release details for 2021 fan day
By Ethan Lee
Hey, fans of the Huskers, here’s everything you need to know for the 2021 Nebraska football fan day.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are getting set to welcome Husker fans to the 2021 version of Nebraska football fan day. The Huskers had to take a year off because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Huskers’ fan festivities are back on the schedule for this year.
Of course, as everyone knows now, the 2020 season was a tumultuous one for the Nebraska football team. That’s largely due to the pandemic that sidelined the Nebraska football fan day, but it’s also because the Cornhuskers struggled last season.
The Huskers weren’t anywhere near as good as they’d hoped to be during the 2020 season, which leaves a ton of room for improvement for the 2021 Nebraska football team. The Cornhuskers will need to improve this season if Scott Frost is going to get some of the heat off his back from Husker football fans.
And those same fans will be lining up to chat with Frost and the rest of his team on Thursday, July 29 starting at 5:30 p.m.
