AIM Awards

Hey Husker Fans!

So, the AIM (Achievement In Marketing) Awards were last week and here is the award the Nashville Huskers won!

Here is what the brochure had to say about us:

Catagory: Special Event, Event Marketing - Event Under $100,000 Investment

Nashville Huskers

Team Lead: Emily Fay

Emily Fay loves football - and in particular, the Nebraska Huskers. Although he University of Nebraska has one of the winningest college football programs in history, she quickly learned that didn't matter in the middle of SEC territory. So Emily set out to create a community of local Husker fans who would gather to enjoy some football. The only problem was she had no budget, no support for the University, no place to meet and she didn't know any other Nashville Nebraskans. But Emily convinced a bar to turn off the SEC game and turn on the Nebraska game. At the end of the 2010 football season, the Nashville Huskers boasted a community of 361 members. Average attendance at the viewing parties was 102.

I am so blessed to be able to watch football with each and everyone of you every fall. You all are amazing!

Thank you for being so awesome!

GO BIG RED!

Emily

Breaking News: 2011-12 Location Announcement

THE NASHVILLE HUSKERS HAS A LOCATION SET FOR THE 2011-2012 SEASON!

Drum Roll Please.....






Will will be watching at the games at:




Red Rooster
1530 Demonbreun Street
Nashville, TN 37203-3112
(615) 457-2781

After calling lots and lots of places, and weighing the options (Size, Location, TVs, Parking, and Food & Drink Specials) Red Rooster quickly became a favorite. The best part is that we may not have to share the bar, if we do it would only be with one other team!!!

So make sure to pass this info on to all your friends in town!

HELP

I am looking for a new location for our Nashville Huskers to meet... and am not finding much! If anyone has any ideas let me know!

Here is what we are looking for!

Background of the Nashville Huskers:
This group was formed in September of 2009. Our fist watch party was for the Nebraska vs. VA Tech, we were expecting 20 people to show up and had over 80 people come to watch the game. Attendance grew as word got out. The Alumni Association did not assist in the development of this group in 2009. However, we started working with the Alumni Association in 2010 and anticipate further assistance in promoting this watch site location for the 2011 season.

The Ideal watch site location will have/be:
- Centrally Located
- Sufficient parking
- Sufficient number of TV’s
- Sufficient space for 50-100 people
- Food
- Family Friendly (There are families with young kids)
- Smoke Free

What a watch site location can expect from Nashville Huskers:
- On average Nashville has 100 people show up each week. However, there will be some weeks that there are closer to 150 -200 people and other weeks were there are closer to 25 people. The biggest factor is the game time.
- As soon as I hear about game times and TV stations I will let the location know.
- We will promote the location on Message Boards, Websites, and in E-mails.
- The location will be the Official home of the Nashville Huskers and THE place to watch Husker Football in Nashville.

What Nashvillians for Nebraska would like from a watch site location:
- For the Nebraska game to be shown with sound every week.
- For the Nebraska games to have priority over other games that are on at the same time. (Example: Say Tennessee and Nebraska play at the same time. The Nebraska game will be on the big screen and will be shown with sound.)
- If for some reason the Nebraska game would not be able to be shown the location needs to give 5 days advanced notice, so other arrangements can be made.

IF YOU KNOW OF ANYTHING THAT MIGHT WORK, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
