The Husker football watch party at the Pinnacle Bank Arena for the first game of the season has been cancelled.
Today, Pinnacle Bank Arena General Manager Tom Lorenz notified city and local Health Department officials that PBA will not open for a Husker football viewing event on October 24th.
“As we’ve learned, the COVID-19 pandemic is unpredictable, and with the current high number of cases and hospitalizations, we reconsidered this event,” Lorenz said. “We have worked with the Health Department to successfully and safely hold other events, and plan to continue that cooperation for future events at PBA.
Lorenz said the event would have had limited attendance, and social distance and mask guidelines would have been followed.
