NU is making that lower East balcony all club seating with increased donation requirements. They are replacing the bench seats with individual seats with backs. Thus the change in color to red.

A story that gets brought up every time I get together with college buddies. This wasn't in Memorial, but I was urinating at a trough elsewhere and my buddy walks up and says "You call that a d!ck?" Never heard a full bathroom of 40+ people all crack up at the same time. I'm sure they all tell that story too. 4 Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Is natural grass actually in the conversation? From what I understand Rhule is in favor of it, certainly moreso than previous coaches. Quote Link to comment

Dogs In A Pile Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 LJS Article. NU plans $450M remake of Memorial Stadium, including new South Stadium 1 Quote Link to comment
soup Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I'm digging it. South Stadium has always sucked, and getting the students a much better "area" will be part of this I'm guessing. Not having access to South Stadium stands for 1-2 seasons is really going to hamper attendance though. Unlike the North stadium, I don't think they'll be able to reuse much of the South, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment
Dr. Strangelove Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 There's a lot to like here, but my question is about the private money. Use that $225 million for NIL to buy players. Adding suites to the field, upgrading the bathrooms, and making the seats comfortable are all great but doesn't really mean much if fans show up to see bad football. Nebraska needs to buy better players. 3 Quote Link to comment

I agree! But use some of that sweet B1G TV money to pay for it. If you're tapping the private side to fund $225 million, why not put that into NIL? Why not use your private donors to help the on field product - the only way within the rules to use money to directly do that - and use that TV money to pay for the stadium? Fans aren't going to be thrilled to show up to a nice new stadium just to watch Nebraska lose to talented teams like Oregon/USC/etc. just because they have seat backs now. Quote Link to comment

That TV money isn't going anywhere, though, at least through supposedly when construction will finish. It does put a bit more onus on the program to start winning and fast, though. 1 Quote Link to comment
