What this is
A Little More Comfortable on Saturdays
For years, Husker fans could rent these padded seat backs for the season and place them directly on Memorial Stadium’s bleachers. They added a little comfort to long afternoons and cold-weather Saturdays while becoming part of the familiar look of the stands.
Each features a red molded back, padded seat, and the printed words “PROPERTY OF NU ATHLETIC CONCESSIONS” — a small detail that gives the piece unmistakable stadium provenance.
Compact, functional, and easy to display, it is the kind of everyday Memorial Stadium object that brings back the experience of actually being in the stands.

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 are removed from Memorial Stadium during the Big Red Rebuild. Larger items will be available for pickup in Lincoln by appointment once removal is complete. Smaller items that are eligible for shipping will ship when they are ready. Each product page will tell you which option applies.
How do I pay?
Checkout is handled securely through Shopify. Build your order on BuyGBR.com, then complete your payment through Shopify checkout.
Where do I pick up my order?
Pickup will take place in Lincoln by appointment once your items are ready. We will contact you with pickup details and available times, so you will not need to contact us to find out when your order is ready.
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.
Can someone else pick up my order for me?
Yes. If you cannot pick up your order yourself, someone else can pick it up on your behalf. They must bring the QR code included in your pickup confirmation email.
Can I have a pickup-only item shipped to me?
No. If an item is listed as pickup only, it must be picked up in Lincoln. Shipping is not available for stadium seats, chairs, or other large items.
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.
