The University of Nebraska Board of Regents will consider Nebraska Athletics’ historic plan to transform Memorial Stadium. This initiative, Big Red Rebuild, signals the beginning of a new era for Memorial Stadium that will serve current and future generations of Nebraskans. This plan will dramatically elevate the fan experience and will help position Husker Athletics financially to compete and lead at the highest level in a rapidly evolving college athletics landscape.
Fan feedback from Nebraskans across the state helped drive this important initiative. Memorial Stadium has been the home of the Nebraska Football program since 1923.
Big Red Rebuild is a fan-first reimagining of Memorial Stadium that will honor the stadium’s legacy while ushering in a new era of energy, access, and year-round engagement. By elevating the game-day atmosphere and expanding year-round programming such as concerts and other events, the project will revitalize the historic landmark.
“The Board is set to consider this important initiative, which represents an incredible opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the entire University System and will bring real economic benefits to the state of Nebraska,” said University of Nebraska System Board of Regents Chairman, Paul Kenney. “Memorial Stadium is a representation of our state’s values and traditions, and this restoration project will help preserve its legacy for future generations.”
