Larry the Cable Guy took the stage at Memorial Stadium at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

Larry was known as Dan Whitney as a teenager growing up in Pawnee City and admitted he was a little nervous to perform Saturday night. He said he was trying to take it easy and treat it like any other show, but said performing in front of his home state and in Memorial Stadium isn't just another show.

The show was intended as a thank you for Nebraska football fans like himself.

Tickets to the show cost $4 a piece and Whitney says the event is essentailly a non-profit show. He says he'll merely break even by the end of the night.
