All seats are great! The big screens make all the action visable to all seats.

Not the best facility (I think there's just one bathroom and one concession stand for the entire visitor section), but by far the best fans I've ever seen.

Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE is one of a kind. First of all, the fans make the stadium what it is. The place has soldout since the early-1960s if I remember correctly, and fans show up in their scarlet and cream every game and are some of the classiest and most knowledgable you'll find. Though it isn't as appealing to the eyes as some other top stadiums around college football may be, the recent addition on the north side of the stadium, as well as the renovation of the press boxes in the late-90s has made the place a little better to the eye. Memorial Stadium had the first replay screens in college football, and as already mentioned, now has the largest video screen in college football. Those screens have led to the Tunnel Walk, which is becoming a tradition in itself at Nebraska, in addition to the 5 national championships, 3 Heisman winners, and numerous other distinctions NU and its players have received. The atmosphere in and around Memorial Stadium on gameday is something that is special, and if you're a college football fan, there's no way you won't have fun by going to Memorial Stadium (unless you're a visiting fan and your team loses). Overall, Memorial Stadium is a stadium that has held up well over the years, but it's the fanbase of NU and the tradition that surrounds the program that really makes the stadium what it is. BTW - to the person who commented about some problems that have occurred in NU's history, what school hasn't had problems with its players? There's nothing to prove that there were steroids at NU, the fan that Kellen Huston punched shouldn't have egged him on after an emotional loss to a rival, and Lawrence Phillips, well, he's a guy who didn't realize how much talent he truly had and if he would've pulled his head out of wherever it was, he may've realized it and gotten better, but that's a whole different story. I'm assuming you're a KSU fan by your name (wildcatz), and if I remember correctly, didn't Ell Roberson get accused of sexual assault before KSU's Fiesta Bowl appearance a few years ago? Every program has its problems, so don't make it seem like NU is a dishonorable program because of a few players because there's been plenty of reasons to give respect to Nebraska football, its players, and coaches.

First college stadium to have video replay screens. First college stadium to use field turft. And soon it will have the largest video replay screen in all of football. Greatest fans in college football (win or lose we applause opposing team as it walks off the field). Loud passionate sea of red. Beautiful weather in the fall. Best place on earth on game day.

Stadium itself is ho-hum but the fans make up for it. Loud and into the game. As an Aggie, I have to say that the Nebraska fans are probably the friendliest I have ever met. They were polite before, during and after the game and made us feel quite welcome.

Memorial Stadium in Lincoln Nebraska is without a doubt a top 10 stadium if not top 5. Way to much history and tradition to not be. Its truely one of the greatest venues of College Football.

Stadiums, how do u rate them. Size? anyone can build more seats. that has nothing to do with prestige, how about sellouts. the fans dedication, and the atmosphere play into this stat. and who dominates here, well the record books say memorial stadium over and over, i think 273 times to be exact.

ATMOSPHERE AND FANS SAY IT ALL. MOST CONSECUTIVE SELL OUT GAMES
wildkatzfan35 10/11/2005
The husker have a long standing tradition of winning, but they also have a lond standing tradition of problems. This ranks right up there with Miami. From bad disrespectful players, to wife beaters, to steroid users, to sucker punching fans on the field. the program need to crack down on discipline issues up there if it wants to be respected. But the huskers will do anything to win even if its to recruit problem players. Winning is not everything if you cant win with honor!

Memorial Stadium is one the loudest and craziest places on saturdays during the fall. If you ever go to a game you can feel the excitement right when you get out of your car. When the tunnel walk starts and sirius starts blasting through the speakers all your hair on your body stands up. Its one of the most exhilirating times of your life. I have been to Texas A&M, Texas, Oklahoma, Penn State, Colorado, and Kansas State, Memorial Stadium is the loudest and best places to be. And with new seats and a new big screen being added it will be the best in the country.

I've been to every home game since the 2003 season and every game I get chills down my spine. The people are amazing, the stadium is amazing, but most importantly the players are amazing. If you've never been to a college football game, I highly recommend you visit Lincoln and be a part of the NCAA record for consecutive sell-outs.
remline 08/04/2005
260 consecutive sellouts.... people just love this place! Combine that with one of the biggest card stunts EVER (dont just this last year), and you have magical makings.

Excellent place.

This stadium epitomizes college football. I don't know what else can be said, the fans are among the classiest and most knowledgeable in the country, until recently the team was always Top Ten material, and is placed in the perfect location where 80% of the state's population is within an hour's drive of Memorial Stadium.
man o war 12/26/2004
this stadium has too many end zone seats
dm3218 12/16/2004
Great Atmosphere. SEC stadiums make it look like a high school stadium.
DanTheMan13 11/14/2004
There is nothing like the Sea of Red at a Cornhuskers game, and the fans are awesome. This is a must see for Stadium travelers
Cald687200 08/12/2004
Great fans and unmatched support, but the stadium has no character. Looks like a prison from the outside.

Nebraska's Memorial stadium is a state of the art facility. There is a lot of tradition there, the fans are top notch and now we have, in my opinion, the best coaching possible
Lucky Ned Pepper 07/06/2004
Size and crowd support is impressive, but should have made seating additions match the original architecture of stadium. What's with the mammoth suite/press box? It over powers the entire stadium bowl.
ousooners1895 06/19/2004
friendly fans for the most part, and alot of tradition, although i think neb was crazy letting bo pell go, i think he was a good coach i'm glad he is now at OU. i think callahan sucks just look at the raiders last year.
CARACAJOU 06/06/2004
HOT CHICKS EVERYWHERE!!!!! FOOD SUCKS, BUT THE HOT CHICKS GOT SOME DESSERT TO MAKE UP FOR IT!!!!! SOLICH THE SLOUCH IS NO LONGER RUNNING THE PROGRAM INTO THE GROUND, SO THAT'S GOOD TOO!!!!!!!
melott 01/26/2004
Fabulous fans, great Fairbury red hot dogs, great sound system, 1st video replay boards ever installed in a college only stadium, and a stat board so fans know who's gaining how many yards.
coleslough 12/12/2003
a ton of cockroaches; alot of old bleachers in end zones.. over rated , except for the big-ass 100 yard press box with suites
michaeljocow 08/11/2003
There is good and bad things about Memorial Studium. Memorial has very good lay out that gets every one of the 71+ thousand in the stadium with in 30 sec. of stading in line. What is not good is getting out it is bad major trafic and people jams. The seats in Memorial suck very small, meant for some one that is about 5'6, but new press boxs, and a upper deck under them are great. The fans are mostly nice to opposing teams and there fans.
