While the original plan, which would have caused the biggest disruption Memorial Stadium has ever seen, has been put on hold, at least for now, Dan announced some new ideas today. The first would begin after the 2025 season. The bleachers in East and West Stadium would be replaced with seating with chairs, reducing capacity but bringing new revenue to the university. Dan is also considering doing away with the grandfathered donation system for seats that some fans have been tied to for more than 30 years. He may also introduce a level playing field for seat prices, with the university's interim president saying that given the scale of change we're going to see in college sports, all options need to be considered. There are still plans to renovate South Stadium, but there is no clear timeline for when it will be implemented. The initial projected cost of the renovation is $450 million. We're still planning on that figure, but we haven't submitted a program statement to the board with such details. There are no plans yet to sell alcohol at Memorial Stadium, but as fans may know, Husker Baseball was recently approved to sell drinks. They have sold about $12,000.
