\
Regents to consider skyboxes
By Mike Kluck
Staff Writer
Bill Byme says Nebraska’s citi
zens have given him overwhelming
support for the athletic department’s
latest building proposal.
Now Nebraska’s athletic director
hopes he has the support of the Ne
braska Board of Regents.
The Regents will meet this week
end in South Sioux City for their July
meeting. On the agenda is a $36.1
million Memorial Stadium improve
ment project.
The gist of the project includes
40 revenue-generating skybox seat
ing areas. Other areas of the project
include installing permanent lights
for night games, improving utilities
and improving concessions and
restrooms.
Byme said he couldn’t predict if
the Regents would approve the project,
but said it was important to Nebraska
athletics.
“This will help us to be competi
tive in all areas of athletics for many
years,” Byme said. “I hope it is going
to go well.”
\ The project would be paid with
revenue bonds, donations and profits
from the use of the skyboxes.
The Omaha World-Herald reported
Wednesday that the price of 10 re
served skyboxes would be $2 million
each, and would guarantee ownership
for 25 years.
The other 30 boxes would go for
an annual payment of $75,000 apiece
for six years, and then would sell at
market price for an additional four
years.
Regent John Payne of Kearney
told the newspaper each skybox
would include 20 season tickets, but
he did not know whether the more
expensive boxes would offer more
amenities.
“I’ve been in skyboxes in other
college football stadiums and it really
continues the tradition of college foot
ball,” Payne said.
Byrne said if the skyboxes are ap
proved at Saturday’s meeting, they
would be operational by the year2000,
but might be ready by the 1999 foot
ball season.
