Although many cities can claim football as a favorite pastime, none can boast that they've sold out every single year since 1962 -- except for one. The Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, has hosted more than 300 consecutive sold out games, and in 2014, reached a peak attendance of over 91,000. Rich in pride and tradition, Memorial Stadium is as relevant to Nebraska's sports legacy as the players themselves.
