Revenue by athletic dept should pay for it. First of all, I dont approve of the south end zone change, eliminating seating for the common folk.

The football program is always bragging about how much they bring in. Why should any non fan have to support them?

Only if they are going to expand seating capacity. If they are renovating to "enhance" the experience, let the donor pick up the tab.

With ever more dismal seasons I would guess that filling the stadium would be a problem. Nebraska fans are great, but there is only an indefinite time before they lose interest with dismal season results.

Absolutely not. This is NOT what our Founding Fathers had in mind, not that they are not turning in their graves with this socialist mess we've gotten ourselves into. I don't play football, I don't/can't go to the games and so this is taxation without representation.

The collected taxes should be used to invest in the state of Nebraska's college students to reduce tuition and fees, improve rural health care, and/or invest in things like expanding renewable energy sources. Let the boosters and fans pay for the renovations and upgrades.

The University and it's Mega-donors are not in a state of poverty. When the legislature is in attack mode on taxation, let us be prudent.

There is plenty of private money to take care of this. Just let them name a restroom after a large donor.

They sale out every game. They have money. We are taxed to much already. And the price of living is ridiculous.

Nebraska football generates and insane amount of tax dollars for the state of Nebraska, I would think the state would want to help maintain that cash flow.
ReplyOne must think about the revenues that a husker football games bring into the city of Lincoln. Only makes sense that they would help keep the facilities tip-top. CLaude
ReplyWhat PJ said !! Whatever it takes to keep big red rolling !! GO BIG RED !!
ReplyI think it's safe t say the the majority of households in Nebraska support the Football program. Spread equally across the state, I can't imagine that the needed/wanted taxes per household would be that much. I could be wrong. I haven't researched it.
Replydo people realize how much money football games bring to Lincoln ... no brainer, a great long-term investment for Lincoln and the State of Nebraska !
ReplyThe building is an economic power house for the state.

ReplyWhy not. Money gets spent in a lot worser ways.
ReplyDo like other cities do and charge a tax on hotels and car rentals and let the visitors pay the tax to fund the stadium projects
ReplyBecause I live in Arizona.
