LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska football fans who enjoy a more comfortable seat are going to be required to rent chairback seats this year and not allowed to bring their own to Memorial Stadium.
There are 18,000 new chairback seats available. Rental is $4 if pre-paid for the season and $5 on game day.
Associate athletic director for facilities and events Butch Hug said many chairbacks sold in stores are larger than Memorial Stadium's allotted seat space. Hug said the department's new chairbacks have thicker seats and fiberglass backs that are molded for the comfort of the fan and do not take up the knee space of the person seated behind them.
The Huskers open the season Saturday night against Western Kentucky.
