International Man of Mystery
The $12.3 million Memorial Stadium Fan Experience Improvements project is underway and includes replacing the stadium’s existing sound system; installing a wireless network system to improve connectivity; creating a game-day smart phone application for all fans in Memorial Stadium; and the installation of an IPTV system.

With installation underway, a new, single-point source system will replace the current speaker cluster inside the stadium. It will use line array and beam focusing speaker technology that will provide consistent audio levels throughout the stadium. Voice and music intelligibility will also be much improved and will allow fans, in all parts of the stadium, to enjoy the full Nebraska game-day experience.

The new wireless network system has many advantages and will allow fans better access to internet applications from their smartphones, regardless of carrier or location in the stadium, which will also relieve volume to cellular networks for voice calls and text messaging. The system installed in Memorial Stadium will be the largest collegiate and second-largest Cisco Connected Stadium deployment in North America.

Wireless coverage will also extend beyond the stadium to allow for an even greater area of connectivity, including the Hawks practice facility and practice fields, the Ed Weir Track, Champions Club (Surface Lot Only), parking garages 1 and 9, and parking surface lots 3, 4, 5, 8, and 12.

Nebraska Athletics is extending its contract with NeuLion, a leading internet video technology provider for live and on-demand interactive content for any Internet-enabled device, to develop an innovative in-venue game-day experience. Through a smartphone application, fans will be able to access in-depth information about the games, including exclusive streaming video content only available to those inside Memorial Stadium. Also available will be rosters and player bios, real-time stats and venue maps with concession stands, restrooms, and emergency stations.

Awesome.

Progressive, innovative, and beneficial to everyone.

We need to continue striving to pioneer and pave the way in college athletics and this is a good move on all fronts.

Well done NU.

Had anyone heard about the new brick addition to the west stadium before this? I'm interested to see how that will turn out.

 
Might I suggest electric shock waves for people who are sitting in the wrong row or seat. We can put something on the tickets that will send out an electric pulse if the ticket isnt close enough to its designated spot. The pulse will increase the longer they refuse to find their correct seat.

But for reals though this sounds like its going to be pretty impressive. Excited to see it all in person.

 
I think we should just take all the seats out of the stadium so no one can complain about people standing in front of them, anymore.

 
These look like great new additions that have been needed for a while. I love the simple design of that new 25 foot "N."

Now that we know that the sound system will be improved, I really hope the Athletic Department chooses to stick with "Sirius" as Nebraska's Tunnel Walk music, and not switch it as was previously rumored earlier this year.

 
Here's that pic from twitter a while back - really sad I won't be able to experience this in person anytime soon.

Didn't know we'd get an app for in-game updates and such. Looks like we'll be able to watch videos too, on-demand replays would be awesome! What would be even better is live game feeds if you absolutely need to go to the bathroom.

Loved the idea before, with that app, the idea just got better.
