>Memorial Stadium has undergone some renovations here and there dating back to the 1960s, but one of the areas that has remained untouched is the south end of the stadium. The latest plans call for a complete removal and replacement of the south stadium, making it unavailable to fans for at least the entire 2025 season, and quite possible the 2026 season as well.<

>Although there isn't a specific state-by-state comparison of commercial construction costs, we've based our breakdown on a solid index of housing and labor costs.
#8 New Jersey. With its small size and proximity to NYC, New Jersey gets a lot of commercial construction that drives up expenses
#48 Nebraska. With wide-open spaces and low costs of living, Nebraska has low construction expenses.<

The south stadium part really needs to done. The reason it’s never been done is because there are old locker rooms and stuff underground under it. The foundation wouldn’t allow any changes with how it was built. Only fix is to remove it completely. And build new. When they remove it the capacity will drop to 61,000 while it isn’t available. When completed capacity will go up to about 75,000.
They are also putting chairback seating in the new south stadium and east and west stadium so that’s why capacity going down so much.
The restroom and concession redos are needed everywhere except premium seating areas.
This is phase 1 of the stadium redo but who knows if phase 2 will ever occur.
Half of the funding will come from private donors.
I know that they were the team of the 90’s. I did not know that they still have a wealthy and devoted fan base.

I've gone twice and was never bored. Even spent a couple of days in Omaha. It's a fabulous place.
In college at RU traveled with the marching band to almost every away B1G stadium. Nebraska was my favorite trip ever (Wisconsin a close 2nd)
the stadium does become the 3rd largest city in Nebraska on gameday for a reason.........
What is the average cost of housing?
What is the average property tax on that housing?
How much does the typical Nebraskan pay in tolls each year?
Sales tax? State income tax?
Why do you assume that University of Nebraska alumni make less money than alumni Rutgers? That is a very snotty elitist attitude.
Then you have to factor in disposable income. Even if they make less.. they might have more to spend because politicians aren't camping out in their pockets.
It's really funny that people don't realize "well there is nothing else to do there" isn't nearly the slam they think it is.
50,000 season tickets (which we don't need to sell out the stadium) is approximately 0.54% of the NJ population (9.267 million people).
It's not like we're pulling from a small population with all these "other things" to do in NJ.
