Nothing like a hot start to the season.
Lincoln will be under a heat advisory during Saturday's Nebraska football home opener against Ohio, which kicks off at 11 a.m.
The National Weather Service extended a heat advisory for Lancaster County until 7 p.m. Saturday. The heat index is forecast to reach 105 degrees. The forecast high is 98 degrees.
At gametime, temps are expected to be in the upper 80s to low 90s and increase as the day goes on.
Because of the expected extreme heat, Nebraska Athletics will allow fans to bring one sealed water bottle into Memorial Stadium.
The stadium already allows personal empty water bottles inside the stadium for fans to be able to refill at water fountains.
Fans are encouraged to have a plan to stay hydrated. Memorial Stadium has medical staff on site for all home games.
