Stadium Capacity?

[pigsonthewing]

like expand the upper deck, or maybe add another deck on top of that... but who knows how much more that old foundation can take. it will probably take a lot of money, and we are having a hard time paying off the 52 million dollar project that is almost finished.

Once we get all them championships again, $$$$$$$$ will come and I'll sit in the new east stadium and watch us beat UCLA and Tenn. in 8-10 years .

thats the spirit!

IMO that would be silly.  They should add 10-15 more rows in the EAST stadium. (sideling seating)

I think the East side should be the next major project started in about two years. We should be able to add 20,000 + seats and get us over 100,000

 

thats what I want in the near and dear future.

there will be some concern about the sellout streak if they put the capacity over 100k. not that i am concerned, i think we could fill it.

i really dont think the sell-out streak would be in jeopardy at 100k

 

I just think we should be the biggest in our conf.

if we manage that, Texas would move awfully fast to take that title away from us. They already planned a larger viewscreen than us, and if i remember correctly, have begun another stadium renovation.

Well I just hope we dont wait forever to rennovate again. I want 100k before I die. Which if my posting is any indication of that is soon.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

100K would be awesome!!! I don't think there would be a shortage of husker faithful willing to to take the seats!!!

[dbetz23]

They may have to drop the ticket prices down a little bit or have 10-15 thousand non-donor seats.

[husker rob]

the bigger the stadium gets the bigger the chance of the sellout streak coming to an end if NU has another rebuilding year

[dbetz23]

Yea, and we can't let that one go. We have lost the bowl streak, the 9 win streak, the winning season streak, the non-losing season streak, the consecutive wins against KU, ISU and others, the homecomming game streak and many more.

 

 

Also, could NU set the prices at 1 dollar and have some rich guy buy them all if in fact the sell out streak is in jepordy.

[Jarred04]

sh#t, i know. It seems like the fans were the only ones able to keep husker streaks alive. I'm sure steve P and others wouldn't let that streak die.

As far as capacity goes, I know that even though Kyle has less than 83,000 stated, we've had an excess of 88,000 in that stadium...so you can definitely fit more than stated capacity...and at Memorial, I don't doubt you will...especially for the t-sips and the jackaloes.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Yeah they sure do cram you in there!!!

[AgMarauder04]

Thanks...since my post was intended as a support for NU. Appreciate it.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Well if you would read the post correctly I was saying that they DO cram people in there!!! They also cram alot of people into Memorial Stadium as well they use every inch that they can!!!
