Fly southwest. They give the fatties a free extra seat.. though this could be your seat they take so enjoy
Record fiscal year for NU Athletic Department

Our stadium capacity now drops us down to Purdue's level. This is beyond pathetic
They could up the fee for retaining season tickets depending on where you seat in the stadium any where from $1,500- 2,500 a seat instead of uping season ticket prices..
No worries. With all the planes falling apart and windows blowing out I'll be the first one off the plane.
Agree. Absolutely hate this.
All that money, but they still can’t figure out a way to widen seats (expand upward and then re-number the seats we already have, maybe?) without dropping capacity by 15,000. Don’t think we’ll end up in the Purdue range (they’re at 57,000), but with this plan, we’ll be below Sparty. And Wisconsin. And Iowa.
I have no problem with stadium renovations—zero. What I hate is looking up at conference powers with 100,000+ seating while our program continues to fade to a shadow of its former self.
Sorry, college wrestling is not a major sport. No one cares. Maybe they say hello but it’s a hard to hear them when no one notices them nationally. your argument made you sound desperate.

I’m sorry how has any of those resulted in winning in men’s major sports? let’s stay away from the “major sports card” for wrestling, bowling, and badminton ok.
It's not just about the fatties. Not sure how many people actually attend games at Memorial but it sounds like they are widening the aisles. Which I consider a good thing. I don't really enjoy basically having to sit on someone when the Pepsi guy comes by and takes up the whole aisle.
Yeah!!! Now let's win some games...in the sport that actually matters.
50 million surplus should mean an offense 5 times better then the scoring explosion
It’s physics. The grandsons are twice as big as their grandfathers who went to these games in the 70s and packed out that stadium. The fix is obvious, but you can’t fix that.
Good deal.
So how much are they going to drop the prices for tickets and concessions now?

Trev acknowledged how expensive our ticket package is nationally. I hope they hold steady for a while. Haven't paid mine yet but I haven't heard any complaining so I assumed they didn't change for 2024.
So same as the last 4 or 5 years. Last year was a one year discount.
That was a one year $100 discount 100 year anniversary of memorial stadium
This is why football is king. It pays for everything and everyone. NU VB is one of the few to actually turn a profit.
I always shake my head when somebody criticizes football. There would be a lot fewer opportunities for college athletes across the board without football. And of course that's driven by the fans, football is what they want to see and is clearly what they're willing to pay for.
Exactly. It's also why dummies who think we should go back in time and go back to the Big 12 are clueless. Money isn't in the same stratosphere.
For someone that doesn’t attend games the capacity of the stadium sure concerns you.
It’s embarrassing.. and I do attend usually one game per year . Didn’t renew my season tickets a few years ago.. travel was just too tough
And we can't get a good men's team in any sport. We are all idiots for supporting this hard for the products we have been getting on the field, court and diamond
Yeah but you can’t put people’s hind legs in your hip waders like you like to do to your sheep to keep them from getting away,
How many tickets ? And how much were you paying in donor fees for them to keep those tickets?
Current capacity is 82000+. There's usually 90+ on attendance. I believe they were talking a 10% reduction in seats so that would be around 74000 plus another 8000 for around 82000 total.
The stadium needs to be done. Before renovation there was soooo many complaints about south stadium and how stupid our stadium was with that many seats and a weird configuration.
This will modernize it make it more user friendly?? I'm all for it. Wish it didn't cost so much but.....
Win baby win and it will be good investment and paid for easily. Look at the dough from losing seasons. Will make a lot of licensing $ if we get to playoffs

Two ticket. I believe I was paying 1200 per ticket in donor fees
So your around the 20-25 yard line for that donation..
So why would you bitch for people that seat in the end zone that needs reconstruction so they can accommodate themselves for better access for restrooms and food?
Bad look dude..
Anyone who has sat in south stadium knows what a dump it is and that it needed a huge amount of work. Saying otherwise is just trying to win an argument. So it only makes sense to modernize the stadium if you are doing a ton of work anyway.
And I find it absolutely hilarious that season ticket holders were surveyed and overwhelmingly wanted better seats. People act like Trev randomly made this up. They literally did a survey with the people who actually go to games. Not people on a message board looking for something to gripe about.
It’s about revenue per seat. End of story. It does zero good having excess seating giving diminishing returns.
It’s always those that don’t contribute that squeal the loudest…in anything.
We won’t have “excess seating” if we correct course and get back to being the Blueblood we really are. But yeah, if we continue the death spiral of the last 7 years, then we probably will need a 70,000 seat stadium in order to make a return on tickets sold.
It just seems shortsighted to plan a future based on the historically bad downturn we find ourselves in today. I like Trev. I do not like reducing stadium capacity when there are other ways to widen seating without dropping 15,000 seats. Two things can be true.
It’s a bad look for Nebraska.. we should be competing with the big boys 100s +.. instead we’re down to Iowa’s level now.. beyond pathetic
Tell that who lives 1449 miles away that bitches about something he doesn’t plan on investing in..
