I hope so. Can’t wait for the retired Husker crowd to have complete melt downs. This would all be way more beneficial in NIL or profit sharingThe numbers I’m hearing from my West stadium brethren is way more than a 50% seat fee increase. I’ve heard as much as 4X as much but nobody knows for sure yet.
You could make a small case for NIL but revenue sharing is capped for everyone at the same amount.
I don't think club seating will be affected. But wouldn't bet the farm on it. Just think the lower bowl affected. But DISPLACED for 27 would only be south stadium
Small case?
Agreed. What I don't understand is that prior to NIL you could see why a kid wouldn't want to come to Lincoln if they had an opportunity to play for Saban at Alabama or Smart at Georgia or LSU. The SEC was obviously the premier destination because of the weather and the under the table shenaningans they seemingly always got away with. Nebraska was at a clear disadvantage.
Nebraska fans are loyal to a fault. We love our Huskers and will always show up to support all our sports.
If we were a top 5 team, with NFL talent nobody would care about the seating, and if they did they would sell their tickets and make a profit and some younger, healthier fans could get to see some games, while making more noise and making the stadium louder. This construction project is a purely political move to get some attention and distract from the bottom line, which is we are a terrible program with no hope for the future. I get that people are fatter today, but people also care more about comfort because the games are boring or worse. People are staying home because the product is trash. It is so backwards to build a better stadium to make a better football team...so stupid, and just another data point supporting the idea that Nebraska football is *** backwards.
I predict the sellout streak will end this year. At the very least boosters may have to purchase 25% of the seating to keep it going.
Not me. I just think that encourages more of the same. I'll be at some of the baseball and basketball games though. Somewhere in the morass of UNL leadership they're going to have to come to a realization that this **** is unacceptable.
It's not a small case. It's the same exact donor base. There's only so many Fortune 500 companies in Nebraska.
The actual scanned tickets the last few seasons has been in the low 70,000s with some dropping down to 60k, actual butts in seats and not businesses buying up extra tickets.
Maybe so but the tickets were sold. I looked today. You can buy season tickets. Only place available is south and north stadium. Endzones which are basically level entry. All of them are in the nose bleed section. I tried to count them and came up with about 300 per NU ticket office. Not bad
And those will be bought up by businesses and organizations hosting meetings and social gatherings on game weekends.
I didn’t think it was already at 25% or more. I thought it was more around 10 or 15%.
yikes.. and they want to dump .6 billion into this?
That's just season tickets, every home game had available individual tickets up till the week of the game last year, Iowa and USC weren't sold out when I was at the Northwestern game.
Fans have always been able to get single season tickets for face value.
I guess it's possible but how'd they get in if they sold their ticket. Student section entrance doesn't scan tickets?
Didn't used to...I haven't been in the loop in a while, kind of opted out when Reilly was hired.
