For the 11th consecutive year, Omaha will present the Outland Trophy to college football’s top interior lineman. This year the First Data Corp. Outland Trophy Award Dinner will be held Thursday, January 10th at 7:00 pm at the Downtown DoubleTree Hotel, 16th & Dodge Streets. Tickets are $75.00 each and tables of ten sell for $750.00.

The Outland Trophy, which has been awarded annually by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) since 1946, is named after the late John Outland, a lineman at Pennsylvania at the turn of the century. This year's Outland Award winner will be announced in December on ESPN.

This prestigious football evening will also feature a former Outland Award Winner. Downtown Rotary is sponsoring this Outland Trophy. From 1946 through 1989, the Outland winner was presented a plaque and not the authentic Outland Trophy.

Also appearing at the dinner for the 10th straight year will be the winners of Nebraska's football senior awards - the Novak Trophy, the Chamberlin Trophy and the Cletus Fischer Native Son.
