The final practice of the spring for Nebraska football was more than just a scrimmage Saturday. Coach Scott Frost called the event a “showcase” earlier in the week. It was also a celebration of the team and how far the community has come since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with 36,406 fans in attendance, the largest gathering in Nebraska since most events came to an end in the spring of 2020. “I don’t know who needed that the most, us to have the fans in there cheering for us or the fans,” Frost said. “The stadium wasn’t full but, man, there was a lot of people in there. The sooner we get back to normal, the better for everybody.
