Might be goin to my first PBA game this weekend....need suggestions

[Jack_John_Mark]

So Nebraska plays their first regular season basketball game Saturday night at the PBA.

Nebraska also plays Rutgers at 2:30 CST. So here is my question.....

If we get tickets for this basketball game, what is the best place down in that new Haymarket area to watch the football game at before hand? I'll show up 2 hours early if I have to in order to get a seat, I just don't know that new area at all. Last time I lived in Lincoln was 7 years ago, and I have only spent a couple hours down there in the Haymarket area during football games since.....and was very drunk when doing so. So I don't remember or know anything about that area.

I just don't want to go down there and wing it. The football game is more important to me than the basketball game at this point, beings as we're playing Mississippi Valley State. So, first and foremost, I want to make sure we watch the football game at the right place and then can easily walk over to the Arena for the basketball game afterwards.

Suggestions?

Buffalo Wings and Rings is literally right across the street. Not the greatest food IMO, but they have TVs everywhere.

That's where I was lookin' at on google maps. I just didn't know if that place would be overly packed or what.

It's quite a deal having an away football game at 2:30 and then a basketball game immediately following right next door.

I'll walk a few blocks if I have to. I want to be surrounded by Husker fans en sech.

It would be pretty full I'd guess, but you can see TVs from everywhere.

Won't go there then.

I mainly just want a big ass TV with the Huskers playing Rutgers on it.

Maybe I'll head over to the Embassy. They usually roll out a big screen for the away games.

I think the TV is like a lite bright set with a bunch of tiny lil balbs that make up the picture. No sure, honestly I can't look at it long enough to tell.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Honestly, anywhere downtown where it's good to watch a Husker Football game would be good.

We just want to be able to walk to the basketball game. Because we will be drunk.

Oh my dear Lord........I just noticed there is a Twin Tits down there

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I guess I should have known that. My God it's like I've never been to Lincoln before....

It's not far, either.

Is there a place in Lincoln that gives free shots for every touchdown scored?

Bad service = no one getting in your way, you'd think they would have the game on in the PB arena - perfect world I guess.

It's the result of being a financially responsible young man and putting all my money towards paying off my debt. Thus, no moneez to spend on things that I like to do.

I've been to 5 football games in the past 3 seasons and got free tickets to all of them.

We're on a STRICT budget. Hell, I'm paying for this little trip to Lincoln with money I made donating plasma.
