Introduction:

Memorial Stadium is headed for a $450-million modernization designed to enhance the fan experience.

Features:

Planned improvements include chair-back seating replacing benches in the South, East and West Stadiums, enhanced restroom and concession areas, and improved access to upper portions of the structure, first used in 1923.

The work would reduce the capacity of Memorial Stadium from nearly 90,000 to around 75,000, the Lincoln Journal-Star reported.

About 23,000 seats would be displaced during construction the 2025 football season. Demolition work would begin after the 2024 football season, with completion hoped for by July of 2026.
