Nebraska football will be bringing back the Big Red Blitz next month.
The event, which began in 2019, features Husker coaches and athletic staff members visiting cities and towns across the state all on June 16. Last year’s event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It has been far too long since we have been able to travel the state for an event like the Big Red Blitz,” Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos said. “Our coaches and staff look forward to this exciting opportunity to hit visit all parts of the state and spend time with our great fans. It is memorable to visit various towns and see the pride our people have in their hometowns, the state of Nebraska and the Huskers.”
The Big Red Blitz will feature stops in 20 cities and towns in a single day. The tentative schedule includes 10 groups of coaches and staff each visiting two locations.
The towns selected for the 2021 Big Red Blitz include Alliance, Broken Bow, Chadron, Columbus, David City, Fremont, Grand Island, Hastings, Holdrege, Imperial, Kearney, Lexington, Loup City, Norfolk, North Platte, Ogallala, Scottsbluff, South Sioux City, Valentine, and West Point.
A detailed schedule and more information will be released at a later date.
