But I don't understand how it helps out the average fan are they going to reduce concessions and ticket prices? is the TV subscription that I buy going to be cheaper? is any of this at all going to affect me or just a few people at the top? Hopefully it affects you by being a happy Nebraska fan after that money buys us some top 10 classes that can win. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Well as a loyal fan for 36 years I feel that my loyalty should buy me some relief when I go to the games. I feel that the fan goer who does not have a contract that guarantees them 1.1B a year would benefit greatly by reduced ticket prices and concessions and make the whole experience better. I am not worried about UNL's bank account so much as I am mine. I would love to be a season ticket holder and support the team and university as much as possible but I do not want to break the bank doing it. A drop of 10-20 dollars on ticket prices would not effect the university in a negitive way as much as it would effect the fan in a positive way. Why does it all need to be about the university ? 1 Quote Link to comment

I mean there are 13 other schools that can say or do the same thing right? I would not expect Nebraska to just jump in recruiting simply because they have money..... every school has money Quote Link to comment

So, like has been mentioned. It would be easier for the program to upgrade the stadium, which would greatly affect you. Quote Link to comment

But only after Frost wins 9 games and gets a contract extension. So passing on savings to fans is a bad thing knapple? 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah I mistook you for someone serious as well, but it turns out you don't have any answers other than it is good for the program. Thanks I couldn't have figured out that the university getting a slice of a 1.1B dollar pie would be a good thing. Thanks for clearing that up. 1 Quote Link to comment

Can get them outside the stadium way below face value. But, the experience inside the stadium can be greatly improved. 4 Quote Link to comment

So I am supposed to hope that the team sucks so I can wait outside the stadium in hopes to get a cheaper ticket to go and watch a bad football team so I can later tell my friends that the experience inside the stadium was greatly improved? Why can't they just lower the cost to go to games? They will make it up in the NIL deals or the tv contract deals or some way. I can guarantee you that lower the cost for the fans to go to games will not get the light shut off at Memorial Stadium. Quote Link to comment

How is it unrealistic? Explain to me how it is unrealistic to lower the cost of going to games. So it is complaining to ask a question about lowering the cost to go to games? I am not complaining I am asking since the B1G has got such great fortune why not pass it along to the fans. You know the fans that packed Memorial stadium since 62' 1 Quote Link to comment

You know the fans that packed Memorial stadium since 62' The Athletic Department budget doesn't allow them to reduce ticket prices, or concession prices. Especially after they just played a season with zero ticket/concession revenue and laid off staff. They're going to be recovering from that revenue hit for years. 1 Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I mean it is not unrealistic to that that UNL could/should lower prices, heck they just gave away tickets to games and did buy-one-get-one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
