Shouldn't Nebraska Demolish Memorial Stadium?

[Megatron]

After hearing Trev's comments and the mention of a 4" binder regarding the necessities needed for Old Memorial, would it not make more sense to demolish it and leave an exterior shell and build a new interior? Other schools, (e.g. Arizona State), did so and it turned out very well.

I happen to think the design from Duck Town is pretty cool, all we need is a few bucks. Maybe we tell Warren that we will name the stadium after him for a life of the stadium contract, and he parts with a cool $200 million?

Just a thought.

I suppose, just don't mess with the tunnel walk song.

Pretty sure it'd cost closer to 1 billion

You are right. By the way… when are the blackshirts being handed out?

 

[Cornjob]

More home games in Arrowhead! Or Dublin!

Warren would never ever foot the bill for a football stadium. And no, we don’t tear down our stadium.

Agree. I don’t think there has been a P5 college football only stadium of 50,000+ constructed this century. At least $500M, and three or four years to construct if you had the money. And the location. Zero chance.

Let's add a roof too while we are at it.

Or the Alt uni's either.

Half the expense is land cost. The U already owns the land.

I mentioned this months ago. It’s time. Find a place for the Huskers to play for 2 years. Demolish, and rebuild it. State of the art. 75,000 capacity. NFL style, with some college flare. Make the fans right on top of you. You’d have a leg up on every single college out there.
