First Nebraska Bowl Game
A 46.5-inch framed commemorative painting from Memorial Stadium, complete with an identification key diagram mounted to the reverse.
From Memorial Stadium, this framed artwork measures 46.5 inches wide, 38 inches tall, and 1.5 inches deep. The painted montage depicts head coach Lawrence McCeney "Biff" Jones and Nebraska players in crimson and white uniform alongside a cut red rose. The work is set beneath glass in an off-white mat with an inner fillet, enclosed in a stained wood frame with reeded outer profiles and beaded interior moulding.
The kraft paper dust cover on the reverse carries an original taped reference sheet titled "Coming Up Roses (1937-1948) / First Nebraska Bowl Game." The document pairs numbered silhouettes with player identifications, noting Vike Francis, Forrest Behm, Elmer Dohrmann, Harry Hopp, Warren Alfson, Charley Brock, and Herm Rohrig.
The frame, glazing, mat, and printed identification key are intact. The wood moulding shows light, scattered handling marks.

Before you buy
Is this really from Memorial Stadium?
Yes. Every piece was removed directly from Memorial Stadium during the Big Red Rebuild, not made to look like it was. Each item is documented in its original location before removal so its history stays connected to the stadium.
What condition should I expect?
These are original pieces from a working stadium, not reproductions. Expect scratches, fading, marks, and other signs of years of use. We clean each piece and make it safe to handle, but we do not restore it to look new. The wear is part of its story.
Why is there a removal and handling fee?
The removal and handling fee varies by item based on the work required to remove, prepare, and handle it. Fees are shown clearly in your cart before checkout.
When will I get my item?
Items are released as they come out of Memorial Stadium, and different parts of the building come out at different times.
Anything that ships, ships after the season ends, and you will get an email with tracking the day it goes out.
Seats come out during Thanksgiving week. Once they are assembled and processed they will be ready for pickup in Lincoln in early 2027, by appointment — we will write to you when yours is ready. You do not need to chase us.
How do I pay?
Checkout is handled securely through Shopify. Build your order on BuyGBR.com, then complete your payment through Shopify checkout.
Are the product photos of the exact item I will receive?
Not always. Many of the images on the site are artistic renditions and may not show the exact condition of the item you receive. Each rendition is based on photographs of the actual items inside Memorial Stadium.
Because these are original stadium pieces, condition and wear will vary from item to item.
What happens if an item I purchased cannot be removed or is damaged during removal?
If an item purchased during the presale cannot be successfully removed from Memorial Stadium, or is damaged during removal, you will receive a full refund.
Will more Memorial Stadium items be added to the site?
Yes. More items will be added throughout the holiday season and into next year. Keep checking back to see what other pieces and treasures from Memorial Stadium become available.
What if an item I want is sold out?
For most items, “SOLD OUT” means no additional inventory is available. For select items, there may be a chance that more inventory becomes available.
If there is a sold-out piece you were hoping to preserve, contact support@raregoods.com for more information.
Where do you ship?
Items marked “Shipping Available” can be shipped within the contiguous United States.
We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. island territories.
