LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Lincoln police saw a surge in service calls during the Nebraska football team’s season opener.

Police were busier Saturday than they were on any other day last year. Officers responded to 459 calls for service, beating last year’s busiest day by 16 calls. Last year’s busiest day was also the first Husker game of the season.

Lincoln police had 47 additional officers directing traffic on Saturday, while others responded to the record number of calls.

Of those calls, 43 were traffic accidents, 67 were alcohol-related arrests, 66 were for disturbances and 18 were assaults. Public Safety Director Tom Casady says all of those numbers are higher than usual.
