So how's everyone feeling about the red endzones now that you've seen them during a game?

I thought the field looked great on TV. In fact when the game came on I was struck by how it popped on my new 77" OLED. Light show looked cool too but probably a lot more in person.
 
Something tells me Rhule doesn't like the administration's hand-wringing over the 'optics' of doing the stadium renovation right now...

I wouldn't either. I get the optics but the AD needs to figure out a funding plan forward. Vandy, Mizzou, PSU, and many others are able to do it. They've got to figure out a way. Maybe Rhule can silver tongue Warren Buffett? If anybody could loosen up those purse strings he'd be the guy. I'd love it if WB would give the school 2B, 700 mill for the project and the rest as to the academic side. Would he even notice it was gone?
 
AD Nov Radio Show -
The update on the stadium will come on the December radio show. He did mention that he's been meeting with donors or businesses about the stadium.
1) Update operations to meet today's demand
2) 100+ years old - stadium foundation needs updated (south is 50 years old, some walls are original and need to be updated).
3) Stadium needs to become a revenue maker - very common across the nation with other schools but said Nebraska is behind on that and he mentionedvolleyball day and conterts and PBA events (basketball, concerts, other events) simialr things can happen at the stadium in the future.
4) He will take some blame for the reseating of football and volleyball, but it is another revenue generator. He noted that season ticket holders will keep their tickets, but nobody will be kicked out of the arena, just people will be in different seats, with the goal of having extra tickets available for the new generation of fans to experience the Huskers.
