South Stadium Renovation

[Mavric]

The scale of the project was alluded to by Alberts when he mentioned that some fans would be "displaced."

But HOL is citing a source saying that they are looking at a project on the $300M scale (twice the new building in progress) and that South Stadium would not be used for seating for at least one year, maybe two.

I'm surprised that it would be on that type of a scale.  But that's probably what you have to do to make a significant improvement.

If they are planning on making wholesale changes to what the South Stadium is like, it's probably not as easy as just chopping off the top half of the seating section and adding a beer garden area at the top.

FIFY

They will do anything to keep the sell out streak alive.  even make seats unavailable for two years.

I think you pretty much have to tear down the entire south stadium and start over. It extends so far laterally and all the support columns are kinda small; it would probably cost more to engineer a structure over, around, and through it than to tear it down and start over.

I'm guessing it's probably going to get suites, locker rooms, and a nice big Husker Vision screen as well.

Hope they don't make the visiting locker room too nice.

As a former North Stadium season ticket holder, a Husker Vision screen is a MUST for the South Stadium!

Until we can get our Husker vision 20/20...we should wait

Bob Devaney didn't need that.

Wreck the whole thing down. Match the club levels on East stadium. Plant corn in the back of the endzones and behind the benches like Georgia did with bushes

Still nicer than my high schools lockers

My first thought was it reminded me of my HS locker room.
