Why did Nebraska fly out of New Orleans?

[ULvictory]

Yeah, pretty much the flights were cheaper out of New Orleans. Any time you are flying into a smaller city like Lafayette, prices tend to go up due to the fact that it is a smaller city making it less broad like New Orleans or Houston. It adds up when you are bringing close to 50 people on a team and flying commercial.

Ya know, if the Cajuns did what they had to do this would have never been a tie. It did go into extra innings didn't it? Who cares where they fly from

Game day timing aside, I don't think Nebraska players or coaches thought twice about having to fly out of New Orleans.

Lincoln is a lot like Lafayette as far as rates and plane sizes are concern.

It is not unusual for people from Lincoln to fly out of Omaha or even Kansas City.
