Memorial Stadium will serve as the heart of Husker move-in as the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is introducing a streamlined, drive-through process for students and their families.
Aimed at creating a centralized, efficient and memorable experience, University Housing and Dining Services will launch an all drive-through move-in process Aug. 17-20. Using the Memorial Stadium Loop at 14th and Vine streets as the central hub, the new system is designed to minimize stress and showcase Husker hospitality.
“Move-in is a pivotal moment for our students and their families,” said Lucas Novotny, executive director of Housing and Dining Services. “By streamlining this process through a drive-through model in the heart of the university, we’re making it more convenient, celebratory and uniquely Nebraskan.”
Upon arrival, families will be greeted by staff and drive up to a check-in tent in the Memorial Stadium Loop. Students will receive a welcome bag, informational handouts and a color-coded hangtag for their assigned residence hall.
After check-in, families will be directed to their halls for unloading. Moving Services will be on site to unload vehicles and deliver belongings directly to student rooms — so students and families will not have to lift a finger to move into their Husker Home.
The move-in process will impact traffic and parking near the stadium.
“We appreciate your patience and understanding as modified traffic patterns near 14th and Vine streets during our movie-in may cause delays,” Novotny said.
Area A permit holders who park in the Memorial Loop lot can shift to the 14th and Avery Garage, 19th and Vine Street Garage, or the non-reserved lots at 16th and W or 16th and X streets. Faculty and staff with reserved Area F03 permits and students with Area D01 permits should use the Nebraska Champions Club parking lot, located west of Memorial Stadium. Faculty and staff with reserved Area F05 and students with Area D03 permits should continue to park in the assigned lot east of Hawks Hall, entering westbound from Vine Street to avoid move-in traffic.
