Popular Post knapplc Posted November 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2019 Sometimes something so unique and pure pops up on Twitter. It makes following other Husker Fans so much fun. This guy started building Memorial Stadium out of paper. He chose the size by what would fit in his file cabinet drawer. That's basically it. But along the way, as he posted his progress, he included tons of great historic tidbits about the team and the stadium. Just a fun little journey through Husker history. This Husker fan spent 12 weeks building a Memorial Stadium replica out of paper You'd be hard-pressed to squeeze 90,000 Husker fans into this Memorial Stadium. But you'll still spot concession stands, restrooms, a scoreboard and statues of former Husker greats. It's just scaled down. And made entirely of paper products. David Ashby, who goes by Trey to family and friends, spent nearly three months reproducing the tiniest details of Memorial Stadium into a paper replica. The Papillion man wrapped up the project this week. Ashby, 30, said he's always been interested in stadiums. He held onto a binder full of his junior high drawings of different stadiums. In recent years, he's toyed around with building stadiums he designed out of paper. 11 2 Quote Link to comment
Jason Sitoke Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Is this what $150 million gets you these days? Not the facilities upgrade I was hoping for. 2 3 Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Heh, I wonder if he will make a tiny paper defense to take the field. Much like our own defense this year. 1 Quote Link to comment
Roundball Shaman Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Making the paper stadium is a great accomplishment. But are we to get the idea that Husker football has become a House of Cards? 1 Quote Link to comment
