Battle at the BigIron Tickets on Sale This Friday
Lincoln – Tickets for the men’s basketball exhibition matchup between Nebraska and Kansas State next month in Grand Island will go on sale to the public this Friday, Sept. 18.
The Battle at the BigIron is set for Monday, Oct. 26, at 6:30 p.m. (central) inside Eihusen Arena at BigIron Events Center in Grand Island. Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning at 10 a.m. (central) this Friday, and fans can purchase tickets at bigironeventscenter.com/
This is the first time the Huskers men’s basketball team has traveled to Grand Island for an exhibition contest. It is the Huskers’ final exhibition game before the season opener on Nov. 2, as NU will also play Saint Louis (Oct. 9) and travel to BYU (Oct. 16).
The Oct. 26 matchup will mark the fourth meeting in the last five seasons, most recently Nebraska’s 86-65 win over the Wildcats in the Hall of Fame Classic title game last season in Kansas City.
As a reminder, the Grand Island exhibition game is not included in Nebraska men’s basketball season ticket packages.
The Nebraska-Kansas State matchup continues BigIron Events Center’s growing emphasis on attracting high-profile athletic events to Grand Island. Eihusen Arena welcomed a sold-out crowd of more than 5,000 fans for a LOVB Nebraska professional volleyball match earlier this year and hosts professional arena football, the Heartland Hoops Classic, the Nebraska Cheer & Dance Championship, the USA Wrestling Folkstyle State Tournament and numerous basketball, volleyball, wrestling and other regional competitions.
