Nebraska’s $450 million Memorial Stadium project faces fundraising questions
Donors, lawmakers criticize timing as NU campuses absorb academic cuts
LINCOLN — If Nebraska football is a state religion, recent efforts to raise private funds for a new NU football facility and to pay players are its offering plate.

The people in the pews remain generous. Donors largely funded a still-under-construction $165 million indoor facility east of the stadium. History says they will continue to give.
But NU Athletics Director Trev Alberts’ latest push to raise $450 million to renovate Memorial Stadium is facing a Big Red rarity among some Husker boosters and state lawmakers: pushback.
Alberts says the century-old stadium needs work to serve NU fans for the next 100 years. Among the changes planned, South Stadium would be replaced, improving fan seating, restrooms and concessions.
Much of the construction is required to meet federal law on accessibility for disabled spectators, NU officials say. They say some work is also needed to keep the stadium functional and sound.
Questions about timing
Yet even some longtime donors to the University of Nebraska and Husker football privately question Alberts’ timing and approach in pursuing a massive new football infrastructure project.
The NU system, including the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, faces a projected budget shortfall of $58 million over the next two years. Campuses are proposing cuts to academic programs and staff layoffs.
