But will it finally get rid of the troughs?

They can't. Where will everyone water their horses?

But will it finally get rid of the troughs?

They are nostalgic. They should always have them.

If they do get replaced they could always action them off for Husker fans man caves.

They can put them in the memorial stadium scrap book with the comic book picture from ShaggyBevo.

Spring Game will be the last one where players enter from the NW corner of the stadium.

HDR, a $2 billion-plus architectural and engineering behemoth, has a relatively small portfolio of sports stadium projects compared to better-known giants in the field such as  Populous,  HNTB,  and HOK. 

But it doesn’t mean HDR is any less capable. Its notable sports projects include Charles Schwab Field, home to the College World Series;  Baxter Arena, home to Nebraska-Omaha’s hockey team; and the Maverick’s baseball and softball complex. 

The employee-owned company earlier this month was awarded a $1.1 million contract from the University of Nebraska to develop design concepts for the potential makeover of 100-year-old Memorial Stadium. This is for the first phase of what could be a $200 million to $500 million redo.

The company’s phase-one team so far includes HNTB, one of the pioneers of sports architecture and design. The companies will serve as the athletic department’s design team, focusing on developing concepts and a vision for what the end result might look like, come up with more seating options and other fan amenities, and eventually work alongside a construction manager.

Much closer to the action.  Far cheaper than $200M-$500M cost

I saw something today, that all of the outdoor practice fields are going to grass now instead of turf.  Is there a chance that Memorial will go grass in the future, or is that just wishful thinking and reading way to much into the practice field update?

Figure this makes sense as not evey team has field turf.  Might be a good idea to practice on grass

They used to have one of each.  Now they'll only have grass.

Although, to be fair, it's possible that the new practice field (in conjunction with the new facility) will be turf.
