Shawnee City FC

Do we think Messi will play in KC on Saturday? Hope so as I'll be there!

Last night I'd say the arena was just 60% full and the fan split was 60% ILL, 20% Neb, 10% Various, 5% OSU and 5% IU. So Illinois will have the crowd advantage today but I expect more Husker fans to drive up today. In fact, I'm meeting my buddy from Omaha who drove up this morning here in a bit. Plus, any Purdue or Wisconsin fans who stick around for our game will root for NU. I'm hoping for a 40% crowd rooting interest in NU this afternoon. #GBR

Sounds good. I'm in Shawnee and work in Westport area. We had a blast at Lyon's Pub last night. 80% Husker fans and Luke Gifford, Gerald Foster and Brandon Reilly were there with old guys buying them drinks. After seeing both teams play up close last night ,we are not losing to Illinois today. We may lose to Purdue tomorrow but we are not losing today. #GBR

Nice - I'm a Sporting KC season ticket holder so will check that thread out and maybe add to it.

Great intel! My friend just mentioned Lyons Pub to me as being a Husker sports bar as well. He also mentioned an awesome Irish pub O'Donovan's that often hosts Husker fans. Thank you!

Hi - I've been coming here for a long time. It's just that I never post, until now. I'm a UNL alum and long-time Kansas City resident. I've got to be one of the most loyal Nebrasketball fans in the KC metro. Scouts honor! My son (also a UNL alum) and I are driving from KC to Minneapolis for the Big 10 Tourney tomorrow. Does anyone know if there is a Husker fan pre-game bar close to the arena where we could hang for pre-game festivities? This will also be my first extended time in Minneapolis so I'm not real familiar with the layout. Any input is greatly appreciated. #GBR
