If you build it, the Huskers just might come.

It is now official that the Bison Activity Dome will be the site of the 2023 Husker volleyball spring scrimmage on April 29. Tickets will go on sale to the public in person only at the main entrance of the Central City Performing Arts Center (2815 17th Avenue) at 8 a.m. on Monday, April 10. A select number of reserved courtside seats will be for sale ($27), while most of the tickets for sale will be general admission ($12) and standing room only ($12). You must be 16 or older to purchase tickets, and there will be a maximum of four tickets sold per person. There will be no ticket replacement for lost tickets and you must pay with cash or card. No tickets will be sold through the Nebraska Athletic Ticket Office.

"It is no secret that Husker volleyball is coming to Central City in April and we are extremely excited for this opportunity," says Central City Public Schools Superintendent Jeff Jensen. "This is an amazing event for our community and we will run it as a first class production. Many aspects of this game are already planned and upon approval from UNL details and ticket information will be released to the public."

The event will be a shining moment for the Central City community who can add this event to an ever growing list of accomplishments. The two-time Governor's Showcase Community has seen great growth in recent years. With a population on the rise the community's infrastructure is also growing with the completion of not only the dome, but also a new state of the art healthcare facility. 

Saturday evening roughly 2,100 people made their way to the Bison Dome for the championship of the Lou-Platte Conference Basketball Tournament. The event had an economic impact on the community, but also served as a test run for what is to come later in April.
