When Nebraska on Friday announced its $155 million, 350,000-square-foot North Stadium expansion, much of the attention immediately, and deservedly, went to what will be brand new.
A massive football training complex. What NU administrators tout as world-class weightlifting and nutritional facilities for the Husker football team and for all Nebraska student-athletes to utilize. The uprooting and relocation of the Husker track and field program to a new stadium on Innovation Campus.
When it’s all said and done, though, Nebraska director of development Brenden Stai thinks one of the first things people will notice is the changes to Memorial Stadium itself.
