Following the pep rally there will be a dance inside the Beaumont Club at 7:30 p.m. for fans. Both the rally and the dance are free, but space at the dance is limited by the 1,500-person capacity of the club.

According to the city’s tourism department, there is a lot going on this weekend. Saturday, most of the fans’ activities will be centered in the Arrowhead Stadium parking lots. York called it “the best tail gating in football,” and after Saturday, Nebraska fans will be able to make that distinction themselves. Before fans enter the stadium for the 6 p.m/kickoff, they can enjoy the taste of a hobo steak grilled on the back of their own car, or they can attend any one of the numerous pre-game tailgate parties.
