The thing I noticed from running back thruthe schedules is that many of the 
games were from the bordering state's schools.  It also appeared that they had 
a thing for playing Pennsylvania schools in that time frame as the played 
Pittsburgh and Penn State quite a few years.

 

Must have been a site since the station is just a couple blocks from the 
univeristy in Lincoln.  And what better way to get there as I-80 wasn't even a 
dream yet!
