This post is just my opinion and wishful thinking: I hear lots of people talking about the good ol days of Nebraska football. Those days are gone folks. That was quite a run! Dont get me wrong. Im positive will be in the hunt for championships again relatively soon. Im not sure well ever have a decade long run again but we will be relevant. Were on our 4th coaching change since 1998 and the coordinator changes are even higher than that. The last two classes of defensive backs have never had the same coach for more than two years. We have great facilities so dont think for a second that Im bashing our facilities. It seems like we think that all we need to do is inject the right coach and well be champions again. Our problems are much much deeper than that. Its our overall game day atmosphere and the Husker brand that is outdated. Heres some major changes I would make as AD. 1. The lower section of the west stadium (directly behind the opposing team) becomes the students section. 2. Increase the concessions vendors in the stadium twofold. More options and selections including domestic beer and locally brewed beer. Since were in the Big10 and we have to deal with those hideous 11am start times, add Starbucks as a vendor! Allow all of the restaurants and bars located in the Railyard to have a booth in or around the stadium. 3. Bring back the yell squad (male cheerleaders) and allow pyramids and basket tosses once again. 4. The entire lot on the east side of the stadium is opened up for tailgating. Make it all concrete and sell the parking/tailgate stalls just like they do at the Lincoln Journal Star parking lot. 5. Get on Adidas! Increase funding in the Husker Marketing department and have them create at least 6 alternate uniforms per year. 6. Hire one of the top djs in the state (Donnell Jones aka dj Romeo) and have him blast the music and play videos during the game to get the fans hyped and intimidate the opponents. 7. Invite all former letter winners in football to join practice or be a sideline host on game day any time they choose (free of charge, for life). 8. Make the current students section the visitors section and leave our band right where it is so they can blow the eardrums rigjt out of the visitors ears! This will never happen but.... Like I said, just my opinion and wishful thinking :) but I promise you; A. The football world will take notice. B. It will help recruiting. C. It will be a much better atmosphere for the fans. D. It will create a hostile environment for opposing teams. E. It will increase revenue for the athletic department.
