I don’t live up that way and I know you have the pulse of things in a variety of areas of NE so have a question/s on funding.  
 

In KC, a huge mistake was made in the early 2000’s when both organizations (Chiefs and Royals) tied themselves to a renovation project instead of new build.  Fast forward 20 years and now the Royals want, and really need a downtown stadium, and the Chiefs want hundreds of millions to fix/renovate Arrowhead which is just gonna kick the can down the road a little farther when a new build would be money better spent.  Both should have been playing in new stadiums by now.   These are for profit organizations asking for public money for stadiums they will not own.  Jackson County threw good money at bad projects that only lasted 20 years.  
 

Not sure who actually owns Memorial Stadium, (University, city, county, state) but it’s a different case study vs professional sports.   Private donations for the stadium usually are how these things get built for colleges, but since the football team is so important to the state in terms of tax revenue, name recognition, etc…what would be wrong with a small statewide sales tax increase, or statewide car rental tax, to pay for a new build?  The money wouldn’t be going to billionaire owners which is the common objection in pro sports for these things.   The benefactor is the State University.  Would a 1/8th cent sales tax increase over 25 years or something like that be palatable to state in order to pay for a new Memorial Stadium? 

I finally can get behind something Archy said. This is a great day!

It's a waste of money to keep renovating that dinosaur. Time for forward thinking and plan a new stadium in a couple of years. Make going to the games a wonderful experience instead of having to pee in troughs or porta potties.

Maybe Strangelove will quit posting now.

We are going to play an absolute dumpster fire team in Michigan State to become bowl eligible. Who saw this coming after the 0-2 start?

Sims is cosmically or comically bad. It's sad to see. If he wasn't such a turnover machine, the offense could have a lot more punch.

And, I also am confident that we wouldn't have lost to Minne with HH at QB. 

Yes, HH is not a great D1 quarterback, but the team wins when he plays. Three original starters and HH has gone 5-1.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sims!

Gee, what a s#!t drive. Offense is terrible. Fire everyone. That's what it sounds like. Oh wait, they scored a touchdown on a 15 play drive? LOL

The way you guys complain about everything is laughable. 

Why would you bench the QB who is actually winning games? Makes no sense at all.

Sorry Enhance, 

I am a true fan, even played for te Huskers. Just a s#!t stadium.

Boooooo, on a renovation. The place is just a dump. They literally have porta-potties lining the walkways. Use the 450 million to start building a new stadium that holds around 75,000.

Macroboy,

I'm sitting with an Iowa fan and he knows more about Nebraska's trick plays than you do.

Well, it would have to be his force ghost since he died. So I guess Yoda and Obi-Wan will be there also. Look for them in the right field bleachers.

Thinking Frost could've been here longer is the thing of nightmares. 

Everyone who believes in the team will help the aura and energy around them and create conditions for another victory.

I'm already excited to see the product on the floor. This is Fred's breakthrough year. Back to the tourney!

Can't wait to see the Huskers win this tourney and then punch a ticket back to Omaha. It's all about being positive.

What happens if NIL money runs out and they can't pay what they promised?

I would love to see them break the world record for a women's sporting event. Since they are so close, they need to figure out how to do it.

Rhule cares is the biggest reason he'll be successful.
