Nebraska Unveils Big Red Rebuild Plan to Modernize Memorial Stadium by 2028

Nebraska's Board of Regents will review the Big Red Rebuild, a $600 million plan to transform Memorial Stadium into an 80,000-seat, year-round venue with a 360-degree concourse, expanded student seating, and improved accessibility. Funded by at least $250 million in philanthropy and $350 million in private bonds—without tax dollars—the project aims to create more than 7,300 jobs and about $1.1 billion in statewide economic impact, with completion targeted for 2028 (50% by 2027).
