I think it will be great for people who can afford going to a game and staying Lincoln. Hotel prices are ridiculous!

matt kolder

Well Overdue. I graduated in '96 and I do not think south side has been touched since then and it was rough then.

Douglas Monson

The stadium needs to be a comfortable and an enjoyable experience for our fans. It is time for an upgrade so Memorial Stadium can serve our state's team and fans in the future.

Joseph Richling

Far overdue for an upgrade. Better to do it sooner than later.

John Reeb

Our stadium, especially south stands where we had season tickets, is very uncomfortable and with no toilets. Stadium clearly needs an upgrade.

stop spending good money on a building that you cant fully modernize. spend 2.2 to2.6 times the $600m and build a brand new dome stadium with all the bling

Robert Lloyd

We don't need a 600 million renovation, we need to learn to run on first down again.

larry bostwick

Losing seats for the common, blue collar, middle income fans. They are the heart and soul of Nebraska Football.

KroGusLLC

The plan looks nice, but get to the level of where we are winning 8-9 on a regular basis first.

Leo Jelinek

Cost too much and disagree with South stadium tear down and no need for walk way around in the stadium.

Given the Huskers’ difficult 2026 football schedule, is it realistic to think 8 wins are possible?

If the lines are improved and up to the task, I think they lose to Oregon, Indiana and OSU, maybe split Illinois/Iowa and win the other 7.

Wade Williams

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

8 wins.. Lol. We'll be lucky to get half of that. Do you know who our coach is?

Scott Ferguson

Schedule is not favorable at all.

Wade Williams

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Kelly Smith

The progress compared to the other BIG 10 teams is minimal.

Christopher O'Brien

6 wins

Robert Lloyd

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

AK-460Mag Nurse

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

Edward Payne

I'm hopeful, but six wins seems most likely until the the team proves itself with a new QB and rebuilt lines.

Andy Redick

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

Nebraska Right to Life

QB turnover machine. No D tackles. No RBs. Good Luck. 6-6 is the absolute ceiling. 5-7 is what it will be.

The defense has made progress. The offense not so much. The real problem is Frost's dedication to Martinez. Adrian is a great guy, but his minuses exceed his pluses.

Mark Empson

Our defense has made progress????

Jay Reeder

Yep, it needed to happen, just like it would at KU for basketball. Nebraska is still a blueblood in football for now and below mediocrity is not acceptable. Scott got more than his fair chance.

Mark Empson

We are at a point of desperation. What do we have to lose at this point? I really thought Scott was our guy and I hate the idea of starting over again. But there was something wrong with Scott. When he spoke at press conferences, he had no passion, no energy, and his eye contact was poor.

Toby Leach

The production was there from those coaches. Better to make the decision then, so you can still have a positive impact with recruiting.

Randy Wolf

I imagine the transfer portal had a lot to do with the timing.

Nate Stineman

It had to be done and it clear that things are going to happen at NU.

Frank Johnson

The team was not going to become better with their existing staff. Make the cut and start improving.

The coaching staff and new players deserved to have the 5 games until Oct. 1 to jell into a team. I hate knee jerk reactions and bowing down to a rich donor.

Randy Weitzenkamp

If you are not going to make new hires before the end of the season anyway, what was the purpose in firing them now? It will be interesting to see how the offense performs, but I can't see this as beneficial.
