The University of Nebraska Board of Regents is scheduled to vote on April 21, 2026, on a proposed $450 million renovation plan for Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. The project, which would be the most extensive in the stadium's 100-year history, aims to modernize fan amenities and infrastructure.
According to university officials, the renovation would be funded entirely by private donations and athletic department revenues, with no use of state tax dollars or student tuition. Key components of the plan include a new north stadium entrance, expanded concourses, upgraded restrooms and concessions, and enhanced accessibility features.
The proposal follows a year of planning and comes as the athletic department seeks to maintain competitiveness in the Big Ten Conference. If approved, construction would be phased over several years to minimize disruption to football seasons. The board's vote will determine whether the project moves forward to the design and bidding phase.
