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

Well if you're going to blow a half billion, hire the very best coaches with heretofore unheard of salaries. Then buy the best players out there.
I’m not on here enough to know if he’s a troll like many suggest, but he’s not entirely wrong here.

If you could only have one, Would you rather:
- be comfy with your beer and watch us lose again to Ga Southern
- be somewhat smushed watching us win again way more than we lose?

I’ll take winning

But I am looking forward to the reno
 
It’s “blue hairs” that built our sell out streak, makes donations for facilities, and spawned multiple generations of Husker fans.

They’re also your parents and grandparents.

Show some respect or take a lap.
Nah. It's blue hairs that ruin the gameday experience for real Nebraska fans. If you cant handle the heat get out of the kitchen
 
For scale, the cost of this horrendous boondoggle will be at or exceed the city of Omaha's entire budget for a year. Not even sure how you can blow that much money for something that insignificant.

Get used to it. There is a club of posters who call nearly everyone a troll. Those same posts almost always lack an argument. Guessing they're not capable if a lucid discussion.
 
would enjoy returning to the renovated memorial for a k-state game. one of the great traditions in football is N's tunnel walk.

It makes no difference. This stadium money isn't taking away coaching money. The AD clearly has endless money.and what are we supposed to do, tell donors they have to donate to NIL?
 
$450 million!
I'm probably wrong, but many many years ago when stadium expansion and/or upgrades were being discussed wasn't the idea of relocating the stadium between Lincoln & Omaha discussed?

At the time I thought $500 million was tossed out as the potential cost of such a project and was immediately dismissed as way too expensive. Costs have gone up since then. 🙃
🤢🤮
 
I didn't call you a troll. I called you a bitch. 😂
Maybe you should reconsider the veil the internet provides. Its not always a good thing. You don't know me. You know nothing about me. You only disagreed with me and look where that led you.
 
Lol what....im saying the blue hairs are the ones that are casual fans yet complain the most about gameday experiences. They should go to valas pumpkin patch on saturdays instead
The blue hairs built a winning program to the tune of five national championships. It's the whiners after that that tear it apart with the I deserve mentality!

First of all, wrong. Don’t be upset just because you aren’t able to see who the real trolls are. And it’s not nearly everyone who posts here. Far from it.

Second of all, why have a discussion with the troll when all they want to do is get under your skin? it seems as though you don’t understand the role of a troll and why people responded the way they do to trolls.

My last 'fan experience' was watching a glorified high school team beat Nebraska for no damn good reason.

Money drunk fools. This is like the saying that a man's vehicle is an extension of his you know what. This is an extension of a timid program that blows and is trying to prove its manhood in a pathetic way.

Big time? Ha!!! Trev is escorting us to and through the dark ages.
The b-ball program is as bad as its ever been, and it's been bad. Football? Can't even buy a winning record despite mediocre schedules. Our athletic program continues to look like a bunch of lost little girls.
Plenty of other teams for you to watch! Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you!
 
You gonna compare one of the most storied buildings in the history of the sports world to a 74 Pinto?
Not the building, the education system. Have you worked with some of the newly graduated youths? I have have never been in the stadium, therefore no dog in this fight, and I hope Huskers win every championship in sight, but does a 450 mil renovation on a building that's used maybe 8 times a year worthy? Definitely not trying to be negative on any of this, but trying to understand the spending. I would appreciate if anyone could explain how this helps education. Because if anyone has noticed, the quality of students is a little concerning.
 
Typical left wingnut. Always worried about how other people spend their money.
You got me there
Because I think this useless, atrocious boondoggle is highly problematic I am a 'left wing nut"?
You obviously don't understand the concept and, like many posters on here, simply hurl insults because you are caught up in others egregious behavior.
Try to be better than that. Is that the way your parents taught you to act?
 
What did they spend to add 10,000 seats to the east side and push capacity to over 80,000. Now they want to spend 450,000,000 million to negate that increase.
ku is doing the same thing on a smaller scale going from 50,000 to forty.

Maybe they want to keep the sellout streak going no matter what the product on the field is.
 
Can’t we use some of this endless money to pull in a top 5 recruiting class? Much more important than the stadium.

We spend too much on coaches already.. players, probably not enough.

I do wonder what the ROI is on a half a billion stadium upgrade spend?

How would the fan who buys tickets feel about prices doing a 2-3x?

I assume that is what the introduction of alcohol sales is for.

It’s clear you didn’t listen to the press conference. One thing he discussed is finding ways to use the facility more than a few times each fall. So don’t worry about that part, they are planning on it.

And you didn't read my post. What does this have to do with education? I stated earlier never even been in the stadium., but I know what I see coming into the work force. Are you frustrated when you go places and service or workmanship is sad at best? Who's teaching that? All I'm saying is 450 mil for comfortable seats is questionable. The same people who own the businesses that donate to the college are the same people screaming for good workers.

I think @pascal meant that there are a lot of posters who call nearly everyone with any negative opinion regarding NU a troll. And he's spot on about that.
