University of Nebraska-Omaha Has 2 Words For College Hockey Fans: TACO CANNON

(CNN)Thump.

The University of Nebraska at Omaha is getting a new $81.6 million stadium for its hockey, basketball and volleyball teams.

Thump.

It’ll have luxury suites and everything.

Thump.

But it seems all anyone can talk about these days …

THUMP

… is the taco cannon.

That’s right, we said taco cannon.

An Omaha taco shop has teamed up with the university to shoot tacos into the stands at sporting events. That the foil-wrapped eats will make to fans was made evident when Voodoo Tacos owner Eric Newton demonstrated the power of the cannon for CNN affiliate KETV.

College hockey has an insane loyal diehard fan base, but how do you extend it’s popularity to the more casual fan? Like what’s the one thing you could do to encourage more kids to come out for a game and check out the scene, maybe grab the attention of the football/hoops bros teetering on the fence of whether to take the night and catch a game in a frozen rink? Easy, just ask University of Nebraska-Omaha. Taco Cannon. Boom done. Literally firing tacos at a high velocity at everybody’s face. Instead of some cheap ass ratty t-shirt, a Mexican delicacy. PR Genius. Genius enough to make #tacocannon the #1 trending topic of yesterday afternoon, everybody talking about tacos and college hockey.

Check these bad boys out in action.

Bad. Ass. Doesn’t get any better, unless it was burritos.

Frozen Four appearance, new $82 million stadium and a Taco Cannon. UN-Omaha Hockey, so hot right now.
