Nebraska’s HuskerVision is getting an upgrade to HD, and Memorial Stadium will be adding two more video boards for the 2009 season.

The improvement and additions were announced Thursday by Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne.

“Our fans should really enjoy the new features planned for Memorial Stadium,” Osborne said. “We have heard from fans who were concerned about not having a clear view of the replay screens and we have addressed that. The high-definition format will really add to what HuskerVision does.”

The new boards will be the same size - 21 feet x 24 feet - as those currently hung on the columns in South Stadium. They will be placed on the towers in North Stadium, which will put a video board at every corner of the stadium.

The HD upgrade should provide fans with crisper video replays and more readable graphics on the main board in North Stadium. Some college football programs – including Texas and its “Godzillatron” -already had HD video boards. The upgrades will cost $3 million and be partially funded by the contract with NU’s marketing partner, IMG.

Season ticket prices were also set for next year’s seven home games. Not including seat donations, they are:

Season Ticket Total (Average) $378 ($54 per game)
UNL Faculty and Staff (Average) $357 ($51 per game)
UNL Student Ticket Total (Average) $147 ($21 per game)

The $54 per game is a $2 increase from last year. Today's annoucement doesn't necessarily connect the price of the video boards to the ticket increase, however.
