Memorial Stadium
Lincoln, NB

Home of the Nebraska Cornhuskers for more than eight decades, the Cornhuskers currently hold the NCAA for the most consecutive sellouts at Memorial Stadium. In the early 1920’s, support began to build a new stadium for the football program. Construction began in early 1923 and was complete several months later. The Cornhuskers played their first game at Memorial Stadium on October 20, 1923 against Kansas. Memorial Stadium was named in honor of the people of Nebraska who fought in the Civil War, Spanish-American War, and World Wars I & II. Originally Memorial Stadium consisted of stands on both the east and west sides of the grandstand.
 

By 1946, the Schulte Field House was constructed on the north end of the stadium. The first main expansion of Memorial Stadium was prior to the 1964 season when stands were constructed in the south end zone giving the stadium its horseshoe configuration. Within the next two years, additional stands were built on the north side of Memorial Stadium giving it a capacity of 65,000 by 1966. A modern press box was built in 1967 and before the start of the 1970 season, the grass field was replaced by Astroturf. In 1972 the stands in the south end zone were expanded increasing the capacity by 9,000 to 73,650. In the 1990s two new video/scoreboards, known as HuskerVision, were installed at the stadium. A $36 million renovation and expansion of Memorial Stadium was completed by the 1998 season. This included the construction of the Don Bryant press box that includes 42 luxury suites, and 1,500 club seats. Various other renovations were completed including the Astroturf being replaced by FieldTurf. The latest expansion was completed before the 2006 season. This included the addition of 6,500 seats in the north endzone and the construction of the Osborne Athletic Complex. Today with a capacity of just over 81,000, Memorial Stadium has been sold out for every Cornhuskers game since November 1962.
