Unsurprisingly, the school, concessions partner and arena reserve the right to refuse any cans that have not been effectively sanitized.Editor’s Picks 1 Related The special promo is inspired by a new custom Omaha’s locker room has recently adopted.In December, with team spirits low following successive losses to Northern Iowa and Iowa State, Mavericks associate head coach Kyan Brown had a spur-of-the-moment concept for how to motivate the team ahead of a clash with Cal Poly– kicking a locker space trash can.Omaha beat the Mustangs for its very first win in two weeks, and a custom was born.
