About Memorial Stadium (Lincoln)
Known by the nickname The Sea of Red, Memorial Stadium is an American football venue on the University of Nebraska–Lincoln campus in Lincoln, Nebraska. It mainly hosts Nebraska Cornhuskers football, and the university also holds its spring commencement ceremony there. Planning started soon after World War I, as the university looked to replace Nebraska Field, its home from 1909 to 1922. The stadium opened, still unfinished, on October 13, 1923, honoring Nebraskans who served in the Civil War, in the Spanish–American War and in World War I.
Fundraising ran into trouble. An agricultural depression in the early 1920s led the state to withdraw its support, and most of the add-ons planned for the complex were scaled back or dropped. The head architects, John Latenser Sr. and Ellery L. Davis, offered to work pro bono. Ground was ceremonially broken on April 23, 1923, and Parsons Construction Company won the job with a $482,939 bid. Crews kept working despite a wet summer and a tornado in August. Nebraska beat Oklahoma 24–0 in the opening game on October 13, played on dirt since the grass had not yet been installed.
In its original layout the stadium ran north to south, with open end zones, grandstands running down the east and west sides and a quarter-mile track around the field. Seats went into the south end zone in 1964, making a horseshoe of 44,829 seats. The first night game came on September 6, 1986, a 34–17 win over Florida State, and permanent lighting arrived in 1999. Expansions between 1999 and 2013 wrapped fully around the original superstructure, much of which is still intact. In 2023 a volleyball event drew an announced 92,003, a stadium record.
