Modernizing the Husker game day experience may mean ending the policy that has allowed some fans to keep the same seats in Memorial Stadium for decades without paying a donation required of other fans seeking season tickets. Roughly one-third of what Alberts considers the “best seats” in Memorial Stadium have been grandfathered in for 30 years or more, meaning those fans do not pay a donation. “Increasingly, most of our fans are telling us it’s hard to rationalize that spend when the person next to me is paying $0,” Alberts said. “If we eliminated the grandfather clause, I think people would pay a lot less,” the athletic director said.
