Enhance Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 43 minutes ago, BigRedBuster said: They have to figure out how to do both. I trust they are. Agreed. Also, we have to think about this logically. Fans in seats = revenue. A good experience in the stadium = fans more likely to go, and that includes a good experience both on the field AND in the stands. Both things have to be funded, particularly in today's world. Going to football games has become less and less appetizing in recent years and the university needs to incentivize people across the entire spectrum. At it's core, gameday is entertainment. And with all the hassles associated with actually going to a game in Lincoln, I have opted to stay home several times in recent years specifically because of the whole package. Much of the stadium infrastructure itself is also just bad compared to a lot of other stadiums I've been to in the last several years. Quote Link to comment

But width wise might be a problem for some folks if you’re referring to the seats. Quote Link to comment

Five NFL stadiums have been built in the past decade, and all of them were over $1 billion. 2 7 Quote Link to comment
Slow yer Roll Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I thought we just had a thread about a 150m upgrade? Now $450m more? Who's in charge of this stuff......that zelensky guy? 1 1 Quote Link to comment

And then ..... Plant real RED robin hedge. Right now, ugly construction barrier fence .... eye sore IMO Nice natural grass !! The Red robin hedge is something I've never thought about and that I think would look super cool along both sides. Nice idea! Quote Link to comment

presidentjlh Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Extremely clever to downsize while doing renovations lol Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Having a 360 degree concourse is a great idea; that always bugged me. I just hope the character isn't changed too much. I'd hate to see it end up like what Chicago did to Soldier Field. Quote Link to comment
BoSolich Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 insane that over the last 10 years they will have spent over a billion dollars on buyout money, practice facility, and stadium renovations but can't event make a bowl game. How about spending that money on NIL and actually getting good players? It's like they think fans care more about the stadium experience than actually winning the games? Feels like Nebraska fans are being taking advantage of. 1 Quote Link to comment
