Please note, Coloradans for Nebraska is no longer partnering with Fox and Hound.  Fox and Hound made a decision that they no longer wanted to provide a discount to Coloradans for Nebraska Members nor provide a donation to the Co4NU Scholarship Fund.  The Board of Directors decided we wanted your membership to continue to have value at all of our partner locations so have secured new locations for our members to enjoy games and discounts.  We are happy that our new corporate sponsor, Old Chicago, has stepped forward in two regions of Colorado to provide our members many places to utilize member discounts.


Football Friday in Lincoln 



Nebraska Alumni Association
Begin your Husker weekend with other alumni and fans at Football Fridays! The NAA's popular event series takes place at the Railyard, southeast of Pinnacle Bank Arena, at 5 p.m. on the day before each Nebraska home football game. Football Fridays include Nebraska football analysis and predictions from former players and local media, children's games, prizes and performances by the Husker Spirit Squad and pep band.  

This week Football Friday will be held in Vega, Level Two of the Railyard.  Joining NAA is an all-star panel of experts including Husker football alums Steve Taylor and Jay Moore. Along with sports journalists Sam McKewon from the Omaha World Herald and Brandon Vogel of Hail Varsity. Plus, a special visit from Head Volleyball Coach John Cook.

To allow Coloradans for Nebraska to focus on scholarship fundraising, we have been partnering with Mark Knudson for the last several years so Husker Football is on the radio.  To make this successful, businesses are always welcomed to contact Mark to discuss advertising opportunities and partnerships.
