    who can tell what % of the fans are Texas? Hard to tell on TV. Burnt orange and red look sort of similar in the stadium lights.

    75% TEXAS - 25% RED. Not the greatest stadium either. Reliant is much better. No signs, pedestrian funnels, took over 30 minutes to get in. Food was horrible and way overpriced. Jerry World sucks in my book. Only good thing about tonight was the final score. Hook'em!

    It room us a freaking hour from the moment we walked in to get to our seats in 230. I guess we entered in the wrong gate, but had to go up to the 400s to walk around the stadium, and then back down to get to
    our section. Terrible design. Other than the Big 12 game next year, and others that are sure to follow, don't care to ever go there again.

    75/25 sounds a bit skewed to me. Maybe 65/35 because lot of Tx but more Neb than I would have expected even with Neb traveling as well as they do.
    Stadium is without a doubt Jeffy Palace! Gross overkill and many, as mentioned, imperfections with the people design as in traffic managment. Big seat row space but the access ailses are narrow as are the tunnels in. Just lots of why this mess up when the excess is so obvious other wise. Up on 400 level bathrooms have big backups at half times too. And, if you can believe it the huge screen on the side is too big - distracting and distorted picture. But you do walk around with your hillbilly mouth open gawking.

    I was guessing about 80% Horns. I was disappointed in the Death Star too - horrible accoustics, it was hot as hell (yet if the roof had been open probably would have been too cold), overpriced food, that giant screen was a big distraction - couldn't help but stare into it like i was in poltergeist or something - once i realized it I had to make a conscious effort to watch the game and not watch the giant screen. but I will say it is a tremendous and impressive building with an exceedingly friendly and helpful staff.

    80/20. And it was only hot for the first minutes of the game. I was in what should have been one of the hottest parts of the stadium, 415, and it was chilly by game's end.

    That stadium is freaking incredibly gorgeous. Got from our car to our seets in 15 minutes, too. 20 tops.

    I think I read that there was about 70/30 Hornfans to Husker fans. I was impressed with the stadium. What I didn't like was that it was hard to find your seats. When you asked the attendants, and there were plenty of them, they gave us incorrect instructions. Also when I called the stadium last week to ask if the Florida Alabama game would be on TVs in the stadium, they told me no. Well it was ALL OVER the stadium. So Jerry needs to get better informed guest relations people. But the stadium is beautiful.

    I agree w the 65/35, but it was 100% in our section. That includes the lady behind me who lost her balance and fell on me, knocking both of us into the two Texas fans in the row below. Not to worry, tho, there were still 15 more rows of seats before we tumbled out of Section 449 onto the level below. The nice fellow below me didn't even step on my glasses as we picked everyone up and returned them to their proper rows and seats. [​IMG]

    Beat the HELL outta Alabama!

    From my view it looked like 70/30. It seemed like 80/20 for a while, but you could start to see a few small NU pockets. The entire upper deck was pretty much all Texas. 75% would be a good overall guess.

    I would say 70/30 but Nebraska represented themselves well. I was very disappointed in the death star primarily from the standpoint of logistics. They have a lot to work on there. It's their first season obviously and there is still road contruction going on, which made it difficult to get out. It is a step down from Reliant at this point.

    Close to 80/20 %. NU did not have the from the 50 to the middle of the endzone which would have been 75/25 %.
