Athletic Facilities across the Nation

[beentherebefore]

Bet those phone calls/e-mails will be fun to respond to from the season ticket holders in the South Endzone who may not have seats for a season or two.

Possibly. But those folks, I assume, will not have to pay anything (or they SHOULD not have to pay ANYTHING) to the university while they are not attending. I would be OK with not attending and not paying for a couple years IF I knew things were going to be much better after the renovation. Also, I would expect consideration for "better" seats after the renovation (or during the renovation I should get better seats that may come available for the price I was paying for endzone seats). But I also don't foresee that athletic department being that accommodating to cheap seat fans.

Guessing the Husker fans will like being able to walk around the whole stadium now if they need/want to:

Specific planned renovations include:

• South Stadium demolition and replacement with chair-back general seating.
• New chair-back seating in West and East stadiums.
• 360-degree main-level concourse connection and 270-degree upper-level concourse connection.
• Concession upgrades, refurbished menu options and added points of sale throughout the stadium.
• Restroom modernization throughout the stadium.
• Academic curriculum space, with specific uses guided by UNL’s academic leadership.
• Enhanced student life amenities.
• ADA upgrades throughout the stadium.

Between this (and the ensuing cost overruns) and their buyouts, Nebby has squandered nearly three quarters of a billion dollars on a team that lost to Minnesota that lost to Northwestern. Hate to calculate the negative ROA the athletic department has in football. At least people have chair-back general seating when they lose to Prime.

The optics of tearing down a war memorial is kinda ballsy, even for Kansas.

Veterans would probably be happy they didn't want to be associated with that crappy stadium.

I know they say Izzo is a big football fan but didn't realize he gave a bunch of money to the MSU FB Facility.

Phoenix Suns owner donated $32 million and requested the building be named after Tom Izzo.

You would think they would know where they are going to play home games for the next 2 years before they started tearing it down.

That's going to be the craziest non "power" stadium in a few years when the big ten kicks northwestern out

Will they move Touchdown Jesus to the new facility?

Over $100,000 per each additional seat … at least the rich will have more comfortable seating.
