This is Husker Country

The entire Franklin community and the whole State of Nebraska are filled with football fans, especially of the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers.  Go Big Red!  You won’t find more excitement or enthusiasm for football in general and specifically for The Big 12 Conference and the competitiveness and rivalry that it brings each and every year.  Memorial Stadium at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln is the site of the pinnacle of football pageantry and the best football fans in the country.  Season tickets are as rare as hen’s teeth, and every game day Saturday, there is a steady stream of fans headed to Lincoln from all over the State.  There are awesome tailgate parties at the stadium and tons of football parties in communities across the State, especially in Franklin!  A Husker game is a spectacle you have to experience, regardless of who your favorite team might be.  In addition, Big Red is very big in women’s volleyball and men’s baseball.  Each year, the College World Series of baseball takes place just down the road at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska.

We are also very proud of our local Franklin Public Schools’ athletics, including football, track, volleyball, basketball and wrestling.  The “Franklin Flyers” have a brand new football field and gymnasium and the community really turns out to enjoy Flyer sporting events while supporting the kids.  Great facilities and great entertainment!

Whatever may be your favorite sport or favorite team, Franklin is a great place to enjoy a good game with friends or family, at home or at the stadium!
