Review:
Memorial Stadium is known for providing some of the most exciting experiences on game day in college football - it is famous for holding a NCAA record of 349 consecutive sellouts since 1962. The stadium, located on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, is the home of the Nebraska football team Cornhuskers. It was completed and dedicated in October 1923.
When full on game days, which happens often, the stadium is called the "Sea of Red" because all the University of Nebraska fans wear red. The stadium originally got its name in honor of all Nebraskans who served in the Spanish-American and Civil Wars, as well as the 751 Nebraskans who perished in World War I. It was later added that the stadium also honors the Nebraskans who were lost in World War II, in Korea; and in Vietnam.
