College game days are one of the most exciting events in all of sports. Fans seem to take over college towns. They tailgate and celebrate in preparation to cheer on their favorite team to victory.

When you enter your team's stadium, a sea of the school's colors, the excitement that looms in the air and the roar of fans cheering await you, while you wait for the teams to take the field.

Football comes with tradition, and one of the most prized traditions in college football is how a team enters the field. Like most other traditions, game day entrances have evolved over time.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers’ tunnel walk has drawn its share of attention over the years.

When Nebraska started its tunnel walk, the Huskers were one of the first teams to have video accompany their entrance. It began with just a few flashes and music accompanied by a live shot of the team walking onto the field.

Kirk Hartman, executive director of video production at HuskerVision, a staff and student-run campus video and graphics production group, told HuskerExtra, “We had what I think was called a video toaster, was the apparatus we used to do a transition, and one of the guys we had up here just happened to hit some button that just kind of flashed those flashes, and that was it. Then we revealed the guys walking out,” Hartman said. “That was really it. Pretty basic.”

Hartman has been with HuskerVision since that day.

What were once just a few flashes they made on accident, Nebraska’s entrance has quickly evolved into a full-blown production that fans anticipate at the beginning of every season.

Before Nebraska takes the field, it honors past coaches and players in a video displayed for the whole stadium to see, along with a live locker room video as the players chant the "Husker Prayer." Then, they enter the tunnel to the sound of thousands of fans cheering and clapping.

While Nebraska may have pioneered the video production of team entrances, teams all over the country enter their fields in unique ways.

Clemson has players board buses from the locker room to be driven to the north side of Memorial Stadium, where players gather at the top of a hill, rub Howard's Rock, and at the sound of cannon fire run down the hill.

Clemson has stated Howard’s Rock was originally from Death Valley, Calif., and they first placed it on a pedestal at the top of “The Hill” in 1966, but it did not become a tradition until just before a game against Wake Forest on Sept. 23, 1967. Their coach at the time, Frank Howard, told his players if they gave 110 percent, they could receive the privilege of rubbing the rock. The team won, and now players rub it for luck as they run down the hill.

Arizona State’s tunnel entrance has changed. Pat Tillman, a former Sun Devil who went on to play for the Arizona Cardinals, left his career on the gridiron to enlist in the military. Tillman died in Afghanistan in 2004.  Arizona State has honored Tillman by placing a portrait of him on the door of the tunnel.

Tillman inspires ASU players and leads them onto the field every home game.
