Nebraska Cornhuskers
A larger than life experience for blue-blood Big Red.
How do you show a recruit what game day in Lincoln is like in the middle of January? You build a wrap-around theatre and let them feel it. What about those three Heisman trophies? They are hidden behind the wall and spin out for their big reveal.
This first-of-its-kind Experience Room for the Cornhuskers set the standard for showcasing a program of this caliber.
Work we did:
• Conceptual innovations
• Complete architectural drawings
• Contractor oversight
• Video contentWhen it became orange:
When the room was first unveiled to current Nebraska football players I was standing next to Ndamukong Suh. I was watching his reaction and he was mesmerized and said “wow” more than once.
Game Day at Nebraska
Daake and The Great Plains Motion Picture Company joined forces to produce, direct and edit a film which tells the story of gameday at Nebraska. We filmed six home games during the 2009 campaign capturing over 30 hours of footage. We ran with the players during the tunnel walk, witnessed their pre-game in the locker room, collided with them on the sidelines and celebrated with them after the victories. The result is a gripping, authentic representation of sunrise to sunset during the college football season in Lincoln. The full film can be seen in the Nebraska Football Experience inside Memorial Stadium seven days a week.
