Husker Athletics Moves to Cashless Concessions

The Big Red Preview event will be the first athletic event of the 2024-25 season to feature Nebraska Athletics’ new cashless concessions operation.

Nebraska has featured cashless concession operations for men’s and women’s basketball games at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and beginning this season all Husker athletic venues will move to cashless concessions.

Improved WiFi in the Memorial Stadium concourses for the 2024 season allows Nebraska to implement cashless concessions and improve the overall efficiency of the concession operations at home games. 

Nebraska will also implement cashless operations at women’s soccer (Hibner Stadium) and volleyball (Devaney Center) this fall. The Husker women’s soccer team opens its home schedule with an exhibition contest against Kansas City on Monday, Aug. 5. The volleyball team will make its first appearance at the Devaney Center in the Red-White game on Saturday, Aug. 24.
