Nebraska AD shifts Memorial Stadium renovation plans
No longer is the South Stadium coming down after the 2024 season, a major piece of the $450 million project.

Love memorial stadium, loved going to every home game 1997-2009, history and everything.
But the stadium is a fucking dump, seating and layout is garbage, only thing it has going for it is history.
So many better stadiums. They needed one of those tornados to take it out

We'll be ok. Just win some games and the stadium will fix itself.
The Southies are gonna have to suck it up.

How many college stadiums have you been to?
And for that matter, how many games at NU do you go to a year to complain this much? Are you a season ticket holder in the upper south?

Even the blue hairs (almost me), know that selling beer needs to happen asap. I would think they could almost fund the entire project, with proceeds off of beer.

I think you severely overestimate how much they would make in beer sales.

I think it's more about appealing to the youths of America, imo

It sucks for the South stadium fans. But if they eventually do what Turd wanted with the south stadium and get rid of the grandfathered donations some won't be able to afford to sit there anymore.
Dannen having them do the upgrades to the East and West stadium first make sense because that's where the most revenue is. The South stadium doesn't produce the same level of revenue as the others and will probably be the last thing they do.

I think it's important to not conflate "afford" with "want to". I think one of the big missing components in the university's analysis both with Tre.v and post-Tre.v is this idea that alienating people who currently pay money for seats can be easily replaced by people who will pay more money for seats.

Halfway there. 90% (probably more) of the.NIL donations sit in East and West stadium so they are taking care of them first. Further, can you get those people to give you money if it’s not for “them”? They’ll give it if you take care of “them” first so that’s why the order changed.
Right or wrong that’s the world we live in with revenue sharing on the way for athletes.

It wouldn't even come close to fund the renovation costs.
Beer sales total 'secret,' OSU says
Ohio State University will not disclose its total beer sales at Ohio Stadium this football season, despite repeated requests from The Dispatch. When asked for total beer sales from this season, Oh…

Whst they will find out is….removing grandfathered seating/licensing & increasing costs will substantially reduce demand
Even if we annually win 7-8 games a year. Few will commit much more than the price of a ticket. The people who “fill” the stadium are mostly a bunch of poors
South stadium will eventually be removed. & replaced by a giant scoreboard & “fanzone” with vastly reduced seating. Students & band will be moved to that end but doubtful they will remove 20k+ seats & replace with 20k seats
Probably more like 5-7k max
Dannen may have saved major egg on the face bc spending 600million to rebuild the South & the end result being you price out the poors would be colossally embarrassing
Nebraska is an anomaly getting 70-80k to show up weekly for bad football
Most places can’t get that support with good football
Eventually we will become a “walk up” fanbase, picking & choosing the games that are worthwhile when we are playing well
It comes down to winning big. Play like we have & the new price model will commonly result in a half empty stadium
So capacity is likely getting reduced so fans will have competition to pay up
