LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska has announced a 3-game football series with Northern Illinois, including a game at Chicago's Soldier Field.
Nebraska associate athletic director for football Jeff Jamrog said Monday that the first of the three games will take place at Soldier Field on Sept. 24, 2016. Northern Illinois has played neutral-site games the past two years at Soldier Field against Wisconsin and Iowa.

Nebraska also announced it has completed its 2014 non-conference schedule with the addition of a Sept. 6 game against McNeese State.
