Two hundred per seat increase? Per game?

Disappointed South stadium isn't happening. That REALLY needs to be taken care of.
the removal of the grandfathering will help boost monies for doing something with the south side
A whole bunch of seats ‘bout to open up
Dannen said funds for south side renovations will have to come from philanthropy. I suspect minor improvements will be the summation of south side improvements, as those seats can't be "monetized."
I'm guessing this change in plans was something that Trev heard about shortly after its unveiling. It is also this money (not his salary) that encouraged him to move on to Texas A&M. A project this size probably isn't as big of deal in Texas oil country.
Good, the “seat-backing” of the stadium will reduce the number of available seats substantially … the loss of people who have any issue with donations will probably coincide with the loss of available seats.
My Idea
Alcohol Sales
A 5-7 year process of raising funds with 50% of all proceeds of Alcohol sales go towards a new stadium fund. As much as we all love the old place its nearing the end folks. I would love to see a 75,000 stadium with seat backs and better design all around
Ok fire away at me

WE are grabbing after nickels and dimes compared to the "big boys"; OSU, Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, A&M, just to name a few.
Unless Warren Buffet leaves us 10% of his net worth when he goes to the big Stock Exchange in the sky, we just can't compete in the new money driven world of college football.
If it was JUST
-facilites
-stadium
-NIL
-recruiting
-staff
-Nutrition
-S&C
-academic support
-transfer portal
The additional costs of all of these things are more than a state/state school our size can come up with year, after year, after year.
The stadium "rebudgeting" is just one more piece of evidence of that problem. The "have it" schools would just build the stadium, we have to find a way to have just part of the project, then that part " has to pay for itself to be built".
And we have to sell "beer and cigarettes" to make a go of it too" (exaggeration ).
Next thing, we will be selling cannabis.......
You just want to cry to see how the changing landscape of college football is squeezing DONU out of the picture.......

Works for me
This is more financially realistic. The $450M south stadium reno was a moonshot plan that would've cost over a half-billion (!) $ after the inevitable overruns. The smaller-scale, pay-as-you-go upgrades to the E & W stadiums will better facilitate accruing the huge cash reserve needed to eventually fund some sort of big south stadium project. Alberts' plan was a financial bridge too far.
I imagine Dannen is looking for incremental, long-term financial commitments from benefactors vs. Alberts' back-the-Brink's-truck-up-now approach. If so, the risk is they lose their motivation to contribute if NU keeps losing. But if NU turns things around ...
In any event, when TD says "philanthropy" will be needed to rebuild the south stadium, it means the funding was never fully lined up. There must've been some real behind-the-scenes tension between TA & the deep-pocketed boosters he was hitting up for so much, so soon.

Big Red Business: How Nebraska spends $10 million from athletics
More than 7,000 students have been able to receive athletic department scholarships over the last two years.
Tyson foods I believe just did the same for Arkansas ? I believe. Or, $5 million a year.
