The latest expansion (and 15 years of mediocrity) is going to be the death knell of the sellout streak. The could have added the boxes on the east side w/o adding the seats above them.
I guess next year the plan will be to widen the seat width, cutting 2-3 seats from each row.

Maybe if all the tix were the same price they wouldn't have a problem. My mom gets tickets through her office but we ended up getting tix to the Rutgers game because they were half the price of Wisconsin or OSU tickets, the games we wanted to go to.

Face value isn't really face value.
I've said this a bunch but for me. I don't want to watch a flipping football game for 400 dollars (Me and the wife) and pay for pop, water, popcorn, runza or whatever else. Plus gas if traveling from out state Nebraska. It's either that or watch multiple games during the day from the comfort of your own home. Where you can sit and chat about the game with friends/family and spend literally 0 dollars (if you are an bad guy host) to watch from a much better vantage point.
If I can buy a ticket for 50 dollars. Then I'll go.

No where even close to happening. They are still selling season tickets with a hefty donation.
If they ever dropped the mandatory donation these seasontickets would sell out within days.

It's much closer than you think. The top 15-20 rows in north & south stadium no longer require any donation at all. That wasn't the case as recently as three years ago.
Don't kid yourselves. Through no fault of Nebraska's, this streak could end, too.

Way to many people around that will make sure the streak doesn't end... now when younger generations have to step up and pick up the tickets and continen consume sports differently then I can see them having trouble.
Years and years away from any real threat, or continuous losing seasons and turmoil.

I agree...the "streak" has probably ended a few times and then of course some big companies buy up some of the tickets. As long as their are rich donors and big companies the streak will stick around for awhile.
