Nebraska volleyball’s May 4 spring match against Denver has been moved from Kearney High School to UNK’s Health and Sports Center on the campus of the University of Nebraska-Kearney.
The match was originally scheduled to be played in the Kearney High School Gymnasium (approximate capacity 3,000), but in an effort to accommodate more fans will be relocated to the 5,000-seat home of the UNK Lopers. The Huskers played their 2017 spring match at Kearney High School but have not played a spring match at UNK’s Health and Sports Center. Kearney Public Schools will remain the primary host, working in partnership with Nebraska Athletics, UNK and the Kearney Visitors Bureau.
Tickets will still go on sale to the public Tuesday, April 2 at 10 a.m., at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds. Tickets for the match are $12 for upper-bowl bleacher seats and $25 for lower-bowl chairback seats. All seats are general admission. Tickets must be purchased in person, with cash only, by someone at least 16 years old. A maximum of four tickets are available per person. Lost tickets will not be replaced. Tickets will not be available through the Nebraska, KHS or UNK athletic offices.
Doors to the match will open at 12:30 p.m. The Huskers will sign autographs following the match.
For the third consecutive year, the Huskers’ spring match will be televised statewide on Nebraska Public Media and streamed online on B1G+. In addition to television and streaming coverage, the match will air on select Huskers Radio Network affiliates and the official Huskers App.
The trip back to Kearney continues Nebraska’s tradition of touring the state for spring volleyball matches. Since 2007, Nebraska has played spring matches in North Platte, Scottsbluff, Grand Island, Norfolk, Wayne, Ogallala, Kearney and McCook
