The University of Nebraska will halt its decades-long tradition of releasing balloons at Huskers football games due to a helium shortage.

The University of Nebraska will halt its decades-long tradition of releasing balloons at Huskers football games due to a helium shortage.

“And so we’ve been asked by the university that the helium we are getting as a university we need to use for medical purposes at UNMC [University of Nebraska Medical Center] in Omaha. And so, we are this year not going to be providing the red balloons for the first time at Memorial Stadium.” According to Alberts, the scarcity of helium has to do, at least partially, with the area of the world in which it is produced.
