As the renovation continues, fans and collectors can buy pieces of Memorial Stadium—from signs to seats to, yes, even the infamous troughs.
If you've ever wanted to own something from inside Memorial Stadium, and not just what you can get at the gift shop, your opportunity is here.
As part of the Big Red Rebuild, which is overhauling Memorial Stadium to the greatest extent any renovation has undertaken in the history of the building, parts of the stadium are being sold. These include signs around the stadium, seats, lockers, and even the troughs. Items will continue to be added for sale throughout the season.
Nebraska athletics director Troy Dannen is leaving no stone unturned in his search for revenue. This has led to some sour feelings around reseating for multiple venues, with volleyball done and football and basketball on the way. Nothing about letting fans have a shot at taking home their seats or other memorabilia should hurt his favorability rating, though.
The items are listed by Rare Goods at buygbr.com. You can check out what's currently available below, though a number of items are selling out.
Stadium Seats
Rare Goods/Nebraska AthleticsThere are a few options of seats available. The Premium N Logo ones above are listed for $799, while those without the N are going for $599. The Black Vinyl and cushion seats are also $799.
You do not choose what seats you get, however. If you want to do that, those are $350 (South sections 14-20, West sections 21-31) and $400 (second deck sections 221-231) per seat.
You can also build your own bench. Cut from the original seating at Memorial Stadium, the Alaskan Yellow Cedar can be cut into a bench of two feet, eight inches ($429), four feet ($499), or 6 feet, 8 inches ($649).
Stadium Signs
Rare Goods/Nebraska AthleticsSeats are a normal thing to see for sale in a renovation like this. Even the signs around the stadium for the sections ($200+), those above the tunnels with the adidas and N ($500), and the gate signs ($500). But this section has much more to offer than what you may be thinking of.
You can grab men's and women's restroom signs for $50, no smoking signs for $200, and even a credential checkpoint sign and gate ($500).
Suite & Club Furnishings
Rare Goods/Nebraska AthleticsInside dining chairs ($100), sofa chairs ($200), and loveseats ($400) are in this section, but so are a couple of Ns. The Club Level N for $1,500 is sold out, but the Suite Level one above is still there for $500.
Architectural Relics
Rare Goods/Nebraska AthleticsDon't lie; this is why you're here. The infamous Memorial Stadium urinal troughs are listed for $3,000. You can also get a stainless steel water fountain trough for $2,500.
This section also includes some water fountains and some doors, including a sideline club glass door, complete with Herbie on it, for $2,000.
Field, Tunnel, & Locker Room
Rare Goods/Nebraska AthleticsThe lockers above are going for $500 each. They were used by the Huskers before a previous renovation, which sent them to the visiting locker room for the last 20 years.
Still available in this section are red metal folding chairs ($300 for a pack of two) and a gate with an alcohol prohibited sign ($500).
Unique Memorabilia
As though the previous items weren't unique already, this section leans into items made from the original Memorial Stadium wood. They include a 400th consecutive sellout commemorative ticket ($49) and ornaments ($30).
A sold-out item that is perhaps the most intriguing of anything on the site is a trophy for the Nebraska men’s basketball’s runner-up finish at the 1974 Sun Devil Classic. That went for $500.
Rare Goods/Nebraska AthleticsArt & Photography
A number of plaques were sold for $300, but there remains a couple of winners.
A 1956 photograph of former head coach Pete Elliott ($500), as well as a $3,000 photo panel shown below.
