Big Red Junkies - Nebraska Football Podcast

Nebraska’s $1 Billion Mistake? | Stadium Debate


Listen Later

Should Nebraska spend nearly a BILLION dollars renovating Memorial Stadium—or just build a brand new one? The Big Red Junkies aren’t pulling punches in this episode.

BJ, Jed, and Matt dive headfirst into the latest stadium update chaos, breaking down Troy Dannen's comments, the ghost of Trev Alberts' Texas A&M disaster, and the absurd price tag now rumored to be as high as $700 million to $1 billion. And for what—lipstick on a 100-year-old pig?

The guys argue hard for starting fresh: a new stadium across from Pinnacle Bank Arena, with modern amenities that reflect where college football is headed—not stuck in 1923. They also tackle:Why nostalgia shouldn’t block progressThe fake comparison to billion-dollar NFL stadiumsThe hidden cost of "piecemeal" upgrades over timeGrass field update (spoiler: it’s dead)The quiet crumbling of the NCAA's power structureAnd yeah… they want cornstalks in the end zones too.


Drop your take below: Should Nebraska build a brand new stadium, or keep pouring cash into Memorial?
