Huskers N Arizona Las Vegas Nite
Since we aren’t in a Bowl Game this year, we planned a fun Las Vegas night and Game Day Prizes Party on 12/29 at 6:30 pm to thank you our members for your support!

First, we tried to find a more central venue plus keep it affordable for you and our club. (HNAZ will be subsidizing a good portion of the cost.)
The Hidden Palace is an event venue at 15005 N Cave Creek Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85032 (south of Greenway).
Second, we hired a professional casino vendor to provide dealers and gaming tables to give us an authentic casino experience.
Las Vegas night will cost $10.00 for members and $15.00 for non-members (with a limit of 4 non-member guests per household).
This entry fee will provide appetizers, a starter gaming fund, and prizes for money winners at the end.  We also arranged an affordable cash bar with beer @$2.00 and wine @ $3.00.
Game Day prizes will be raffled off throughout the evening.

GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

Game Day 11/24 – Huskers vs. Iowa Hawkeyes – is at The Arena at 2:00 p.m. AZ time

Huskers "N" Arizona

“After Saturday’s 54-21 loss to Minnesota, all signs point to Nebraska making a coaching change at the end of the 2017 season. Mike Riley is 19-17 since taking over in Lincoln, but the program has failed to take a major step in terms of on-field performance.” per athlonsports.com. The Hawkeyes have won three of the past four meetings against the Huskers, and Nebraska hasn’t beat them at Memorial Stadium since 2011, the program’s inaugural Big Ten season. So we really need to get out and cheer our Huskers on to win their season finale! Our featured watch-site this week is The Arena Grill at in north Scottsdale at 6245 E Bell Rd # 101.
