Nebraska to celebrate 300th straight sellout

Read More: Heisman Trophy, Omaha, Home News

Rod Hansen was at Memorial Stadium when Bob Devaney coached his first football game at Nebraska in 1962.

He was there to watch Heisman Trophy winners Johnny Rodgers, Mike Rozier and Eric Crouch, and he saw Tom Osborne finish his coaching career with three national titles in four years in the 1990s.

The 71-year-old Hansen watched Nebraska's winning tradition crumble under Bill Callahan, and he's been there to see Bo Pelini try to rebuild it.

In all kinds of weather, Hansen has been at the venerable stadium for every game of an NCAA-record sellout streak that will hit 300 when the Cornhuskers play Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday.

"When I had the opportunity to buy season tickets, I jumped on it," said Hansen, who secured his treasured ducats in 1965 and makes the drive to Lincoln from his home in Omaha. "It's just a good time. There were a lot of great teams, a lot of great memories. It's just a love for the game and a love for Nebraska."
