UCLA plans to put on a show for home opener against Nebraska - latimes.com
UCLA officials are expecting about 55,000 for the game. But there is a red scare.
Nebraska ran through its ticket allotment and came back for more. The school has sold about 8,000 tickets, according Keith Mann, assistant athletic director for media relations. But more than 8,000 Cornhuskers fans are expected.
"California has the third-most Nebraska alumni, after Nebraska and Colorado," said Shannon Sherman, senior director of communications for the Nebraska Alumni Assn.
Said Mann: "That's not counting those in Las Vegas and Arizona who could drive over."
This has happened before. A Nebraska throng hit the Coliseum in 2006 to see the Cornhuskers play USC. But the Trojans, then at the height of the Pete Carroll era, were a hot ticket with locals. UCLA has been in a ticket-sales free fall.
The Bruins sold an average of 76,379 tickets per game in 2007. That has declined every year since. UCLA averaged 56,644 last season, a drop of 19,735 in four years.
UCLA lists the Rose Bowl capacity at 91,136.
