WELCOME
Blur is excited to extend an invitation to our Husker Hospitality Pre-Game Tailgate, located at Essig Field, as we gear up for the Nebraska vs. Oregon football showdown on October 17, 2026.
Join us just steps from the action at Autzen Stadium—home of the Ducks—for an unforgettable celebration of Husker football.
Past Blur away game tailgates have sold out before game-day, so we highly recommend securing your tickets early to ensure you don’t miss out.
