OMG the blue haired sit on their butts people voting NO need to start to accept that times have changed and need to catch up with the rest of the world. This ain't the old days of football. Adapt or get passed by. Tap the kegs!

Agree, and most of us "blue-haired" folks were able to drink when we were in college. At what point did they become their parents...... Time to open the taps!

It is a family atmosphere, I don't want someone spilling beer all over us. Also, the "nice" we are known for will all go away when you get a few beers in some of the fans. Not a good plan.

I drink alcohol, primarily beer, but I don't believe we need to have it in Memorial Stadium. It just increases the chances for unfortunate events. Nebraska fans have a great reputation; let's not ruin it.

I think too many people get carried away with alcohol consumption at these kinds of events and potentially will degrade the atmosphere and the image developed over many years in Memorial Stadium.

Nebraska fans drowning their sorrows DURING the game? No thank you. This is another example of pandering to the big bladder people, The only slurred speech we need is in a pre-game speech from a former player with CTE.

Since the second half of the Colorado game Nebraska has just fallen apart. And we need a better OC who will run first. We should die running over and over till we learn how to do it like we once did.

It is a unique tradition and raises a modest amount of money for the program. Besides, the new B1G ad still shows the balloons rising from the stadium and we'd hate to be billed for a redo.

I am extremely concerned that some redwood owl or a spoon-billed sandpiper my try to eat the balloons and die. This is unacceptable. This may tarnish Big Red forever. I need a diet Squirt.

No. Celebrating a single touchdown as if it's some sort of win? It's a fun idea but it is littering and there should be other ways to celebrate the first touchdown. Dannen is just sucking up to the fans here. He wouldn't do this if he had to pick up the spent balloons.
