Commonly Asked Questions About Nebraska's Reseat of Memorial Stadium

Key Points:

• Nebraska will conduct a reseat of Memorial Stadium for the 2027 season as part of the Big Red Rebuild project, redistributing nearly all season tickets except for suites, with a second reseat planned for 2028 after renovations are complete.
• The reseat aims to generate revenue to help cover increased student-athlete costs and accommodate displaced fans due to the South Stadium renovation, which will temporarily reduce seating capacity by about 20,000 seats.
• New ticket pricing combines season tickets and priority seating contributions (donations) into an "all-in" price, resulting in approximately 85% of seats costing less in 2027 than in 2026, with around 5,000 tickets available to the general public for $299.
• The elimination of grandfathered priority seating donation rates, which had allowed some longtime fans to pay minimal or no donations, is expected to increase overall revenue while reducing prices for most fans; however, some longtime season ticket holders face tough choices about paying higher donations, moving seats, or relinquishing tickets.
• Seat selection in spring 2027 will be based on donors' Huskers Athletic Fund standing, with higher donors receiving priority; non-donating season ticket holders may face challenges retaining seats due to reduced capacity and the reseating order, though official assurances are lacking.
