The new FieldTurf looks awesome at field level.

East Stadium looks very imposing from field level. I can't wait until to hear how 90,000 Husker fans sound.

Some people think Bo Pelini doesn't care for the Blackshirt tradtion. I'd say that's wrong, as you see references to the Blackshirts wherever you look inside North Stadium. The weight room was recently remodeled to add a warm-up area immediately adjacing the equipment.

How many more days?

Very imposing from street level.

From the media level, the new turf doesn't look nearly as impressive.

But that big red "N" hasn't looked better...
