DAAKE Creates the 'Nebraska Football Experience'

 

Wow, talk about a dream project. I'm going to have to go to Memorial Stadium to see this for myself. Back in November (right before the victory over Oklahoma, as it were) the University dedicated a room in the North Stadium Complex for a totally immersive media experience. Video and graphics, done by DAAKE in collaboration with Contrivium Design & Urbanism, Inc. and The Mixing Room, make an homage to our three Heisman winners. In the arms race that is the building of collegiate athletic facilities, I wonder who else has something like this? Why would I not be surprised if Texas is now building their own OMNIMAX dome to wow recruits?

Anyways, get more details and check out the video here.
