Stadium capacity was reduced in 2015, an adjustment to the overstep of the increase (by 5,000 seats) in 2013.
Swarbrick's comments echo what I've been saying about this, whenever someone questions the validity of our sellout streak.
Our streak is as valid as anyone else's. Claiming the books have been cooked is entirely subjective. No other AD is claiming Nebraska's streak is invalid. They know a sellout at Nebraska is as valid as a sellout at Notre Dame, Oklahoma, or ECU.
Agreed.
Even though I'm super far away, now that the kids are getting older, I'd love to plan a yearly trip back, likely starting next year. IMO, they should really look at pulling out the benches, putting in actual seats, and reducing capacity a bit. It would do wonders for comfort, and would all but ensure the streak stays alive (as long as we get better).
I'm all for more legroom/widening seats, but I don't want to give people even more reason to sit in their ass at games. #benchlife
