Nebraska Athletics is reshaping the price of Husker football season tickets for 2027, and for most fans, the number is headed down.
The department said Wednesday that all-in prices for football season tickets - including the cost of a season ticket and a prior year’s priority-seat contribution - will drop for 35% of seats in 2027. The new structure comes as Nebraska moves forward with a $600 million renovation of Memorial Stadium, a project expected to affect half of all seats at the iconic venue.
The department is also changing how long-time season-ticket holders can stay in their current rankings without first making a donation to Nebraska Athletics, a move expected to affect roughly 20% of seats in the stadium.
Nebraska Athletics said the revised pricing is meant to keep Memorial Stadium accessible to Husker fans while offering more choices for the experience they want.
“The goal is to offer a range of options at different price points, allowing fans to choose the experience and investment level that works[” the department said.
Most premium and priority seats, located in the lower bowls of both east and west stadiums, will cost $600 for the season, but will have varying priority-seat contribution requirements attached.
For instance, a seat in the 100 or 200 level in West Stadium near the center of the field would cost $600 with a $1,500 contribution attached to it for a total cost of $2,100.
A season ticket in the same levels of West Stadium but closer to either endzone would also cost $600, but the priority-seat contribution would be $1,200, bringing the total to $1,800.
Club-level seats in West Stadium, which come with chairback or ledge seating and access to sports bars, will cost $600, with a required contribution of $1,000 or $1,500 depending on location.
In East Stadium, a season ticket in the 100-level would cost $600, with the attached contribution $1,000 or $500 depending on how close the seat is to either end zone. In the 200-level, those seats would also cost $600 and have a $1,000 or $500 contribution attached.
North Stadium’s 100-level seats will cost $600 with a $200 contribution, or $700 total per seat for the season. The same price applies to seats in the 200 level of East Stadium, which feature bleacher-back seating.
Bleacher seats in the 200 level of North Stadium will also cost $600, but do not have any priority seating contribution attached.
Seats in the upper areas of North Stadium above the 200 level will cost $200 each under the new pricing.
Nebraska Athletics also said club-level seats in the upper east and west stadiums will cost $600 and require a $1,000 or $1,500 contribution, depending on location.
Approximately 15,000 seats in the stadium will cost less than $100 each and not have any priority-seat contribution attached.
The renovated South Stadium will become home to Husker students. Part of “The Boneyard,” as it is known, will be home to Nebraska students.
Nebraska Athletics said it will conduct a second reseating ahead of the 2028 season.

Nebraska Just Got More Momentum From A Huge Recruiting Weekend
Nebraskas recruiting push picked up more steam during the Indiana game, when the program hosted a pair of high-end 2028 targets who gave the weekend added significance. Blue-chip safety Jordan Hicks and five-star tight end Ahmad Hudson were both on campus, a good sign for a staff trying to keep building momentum with younger classes while the on-field product continues to draw attention.
There was plenty else for recruits to take in, too, including cornerback Andrew Marshalls strong showing against Indiana, the kind of performance that can sharpen Nebraskas pitch to top defensive prospects. With analysts also starting to sort out possible bowl opponents after Week 7, the Cornhuskers have a lot of moving parts right now, but the broader picture is clear: the program is creating reasons for recruits to keep looking harder at Lincoln, and Hudsons status remains one of the more intriguing threads coming out of the visit weekend.

Nebraska Now Faces A Real Illinois Quarterback Twist
Illinois quarterback situation has turned into one of the more relevant subplot for Nebraska as the Cornhuskers look ahead to a matchup that could still shift depending on how quickly Katin Houser heals. Houser suffered a broken hand and has already undergone surgery, with a recovery window of four to six weeks, which puts his status right on the edge of the Illinois-Nebraska game four weeks from now.
Michael Clayton II is the name to watch if Houser is not cleared in time, and that possibility changes the way Nebraska has to prepare for the Illini offense. Housers availability will shape the opponent the Cornhuskers actually see, and for now that uncertainty leaves Nebraska waiting on a decision that could alter the entire feel of the game.

Anthony Colandrea Gave Nebraska Fans A Reason To Believe Again
Anthony Colandreas latest outing against Indiana gave Nebraska something it has been searching for: a quarterback performance that felt steady, urgent and worth building around. He flashed as a runner and a leader, and his presence helped the Cornhuskers play with a confidence that had been missing at times, even as the larger issues around the offense and the seasons bigger questions remain in place.
For a fan base that has spent years waiting for signs of real progress, Colandreas impact mattered beyond the box score. He helped shift the tone of the conversation around the program, showing a level of command that can travel into future weeks, even if Nebraska still has work to do before those encouraging moments start turning into something more lasting.
