Memorial Stadium Seating Chart
Home of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Memorial Stadium has sold out every home game since 1962 — the longest streak in college football. On game days the stadium becomes Nebraska's third-largest city.
Sections at Memorial Stadium
The Memorial Stadium chart lists 5 main sections, and the one on your ticket does most of the deciding — price, distance, and view included. Scan the list before you buy, keeping in mind that the event type reshuffles the room: concerts, games, and private buyouts each open different parts of the house.
- Sideline 1-36 — lower bowl
- End Zone — north and south
- Skybox Suites — premium
- Upper Deck 101-136
- Husker Vision premium club
Best seats at Memorial Stadium
Sections 18-21 along the Nebraska sideline at midfield. The student section (sections 33-36, north end) is the loudest part of the building.
Tips before you go
Lincoln transforms on game days — book everything months ahead. The Tunnel Walk (Sirius theme music as players enter) is one of college football's most theatrical pre-game moments. Husker red is the only color to wear.
How to read the Memorial Stadium seating chart
Start with the shape of the room: 85,458 seats around a field, split into 5 sections — Sideline 1-36, End Zone, Skybox Suites, Upper Deck 101-136, and Husker Vision premium club. Your ticket names exactly one of them, and that name is worth reading twice, because neighboring sections can differ by a full level, a price tier, or which side of the room you face from.
What actually separates one Memorial Stadium seat from another comes down to three things: how close you are to the field, whether you sit on a sideline or in an end zone, and how high you are. Compare Husker Vision premium club and Sideline 1-36 on the chart and you'll see the spread — a different level, a different price, sometimes a different side of the Lincoln room. The best-seats notes above narrow it down for Memorial Stadium; before buying, check the official map against your exact section, row, and seat.
Some context on size — Memorial Stadium's 85,458 capacity places it 1st among the 4 Nebraska venues in this guide; nothing in that set runs larger — Pinnacle Bank Arena (15,500) is the next size down.

Memorial Stadium runs to 85,458 at full configuration, but a private block is usually a club, a suite, or an adjacent banquet room — a fraction of that, and exactly the scale the maker below handles: rounds for the dinner, rows for the program, and head tables placed where you want them.
