450 million dollar upgrades coming to Memorial Stadium!! BOR Approved

Just got the email. Sounds like a press conference at 10:30 today.

I think I saw demolition of South stadium with seat backs to be put in.

Seat backs in east and west stadium.

show me the money GIF
 
1. Damn, thats expensive for part of a stadium, or no?
2. Much needed.
3. I'm sure there will be a vocal minority who will absolutely hate it, waste of money etc. If 250M is privately funded, at least the people with big money want this, so boo hoo.
4. Going to be weird to have part of the stadium closed for 2 seasons for renovations. Won't be a thing to keep sellout streak alive.
5. What happens for season ticket holders in South Stadium? Edit, or is that all students. TBH I'm not sure on that. Didn't attend UNL, though I've sat in south stadium before.
6. Beer! That's probably a good thing overall. Again I'm sure some will disagree.
 
Will it change how the games look on TV from my couch?
South stadium will look dope. So maybe? lol. Its still where I will watch almost all games. Living out of town and having 2 small kids and being a big guy myself isn't conducive to going to a lot of games.

It baffles me that fund raising goes so well when it comes to facilities but we struggle so much funding NIL
Hard to say. Maybe donors see this as a long term investment, where they don't see the same value in NIL. I'm not the person who has that kind of disposable income so I have no idea how those people think.
Edit I'll also say I don't have any idea how we are faring in NIL.
 
Believe what you wish we aren’t anywhere near PSU-Mich-OSU.
Iowa- Wisc and MSU are better funded.
And we are significantly behind USC-Oregon and Washington coming into the league
This is a year or two ago but Mike Farrell of Rivals has NU 3rd.
 
Very cool. Sounds like it'll be tough for at least a couple seasons but should be worth it in the end.

With as much money as they're spending, I am curious if they gave any real thought to just going ahead and building an entirely new stadium? Then bulldozing Memorial Stadium and the university could repurpose the land to whatever it was that they needed.
