LINCOLN - Nebraska - The University of Nebraska unveiled plans for their new 350,000 square foot, $155 million North Stadium Expansion Project.
6 News reports Athletic Director Bill Moos called this the "best facility of its kind" and it would be a state of the art facility to move the football program into the future.
The "Go Big" project will provide Nebraska Athletics with a facility that will be the largest of its kind in the country. It will house the Nebraska football program with a new locker room, athletic medicine facility, strength and conditioning center, equipment room, offices and more. It will also be used for all student athletes in all of N-U's 24 sport programs.
The facility will be constructed on part of the current location of the Ed Weir Track. Nebraska plans to build a new outdoor track stadium north of the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The track will be closer to their indoor track and coaches' offices in the Devaney Center.
Fundraising efforts are underway. The University hopes to break ground in the spring and have the new center ready in 2022.
