Terms of Purchase

The short version

Everything here is the real thing, still in Memorial Stadium today. Worth knowing before you check out:

• This is a pre-order. Nothing leaves the stadium until the season allows. We are taking orders now so we know exactly what to remove, and how carefully. We will keep you posted by email. Every order supports the University of Nebraska.
• It comes as it is. Cleaned, never restored — the wear is the point. Expect scuffs, worn paint, fading and the odd scratch from decades of Husker fans. That wear is the record, not a defect, so it is not grounds for a refund.
• The seat pictures are renderings. Yours will be very close — in working condition, wear and all. The seats are still bolted into Memorial Stadium today, so what you receive is the same seat with its own wear, and either a floor mount or a riser mount depending on where it stood. It folds and sits as it should, and it is sold as it is. Sections and rows vary and cannot be chosen.
• Pickup in Lincoln. Address and dates by email once removal is scheduled. This item cannot be shipped. If you cannot come yourself, a friend or relative can pick it up for you — just write to support@raregoods.com beforehand so we know who to expect. An order not picked up within its window is not refundable, so please plan ahead.
• Delivered to the lower 48. Allow six to eight weeks once it has left the stadium. Street addresses only — not a PO box, and not Alaska, Hawaii or the U.S. territories. We will write when it is on its way.
• All orders are final. Not refundable once placed.

You are shown these points, and asked to agree to them, before every checkout. Only the points that apply to your cart are shown there; the rest of this page is the detail.

1. Pre-order

Everything on this site is still installed in Memorial Stadium. Orders are taken now so that we know exactly what to remove and can plan the work; removal happens when the stadium schedule allows, and we cannot name a date for it yet. We will keep you informed by email as it approaches. Every order supports the University of Nebraska.

2. Condition

Each piece is an original, removed from the building, and is sold in the condition it is in. It is cleaned and made safe to handle; it is not restored, repainted or refinished, because the wear is the record of where it has been. Expect scuffs, worn or chipped paint, fading, marks and scratches, and the occasional repair made during its working life. None of that is a defect, and none of it is grounds for a refund or exchange.

Stadium seats. Because the seats are still bolted into the stadium, the seat images on this site are renderings rather than photographs of the pair you will receive. Yours will be very close to the picture — the same seat, with its own wear — and may have either a floor mount or a riser mount depending on where in the stadium it stood. Every seat is in working condition, folding and sitting as it should, and is sold as it is. Sections, rows and seat numbers vary and cannot be chosen or guaranteed.

3. Pickup in Lincoln

Some pieces are too large or too heavy to ship and are picked up in person. Pickup is in the Lincoln, Nebraska area. Once removal is scheduled we will email you the address and a window of dates; we cannot confirm either before then. Bring a vehicle suited to the piece — the size and weight are listed on its page.

If you cannot come yourself, a friend or relative is welcome to pick it up on your behalf. Write to support@raregoods.com beforehand with their name so we know who to expect. An order that is not picked up within its window is not refundable, so please plan ahead and tell us early if the dates are a problem — we will do what we can.

4. Delivery

Pieces that ship are delivered to street addresses in the contiguous United States. We do not ship to PO boxes, to Alaska or Hawaii, or to U.S. territories. Allow six to eight weeks from the piece leaving the stadium; we will email when it is on its way. Delivery charges, where they apply, are shown at checkout.

5. Removal and handling

A removal and handling charge is added once per item to every order. It is shown in your cart before checkout. Crews remove each piece from the building by hand; the charge covers that work and is not optional.

6. Refunds

All orders are final and non-refundable. This includes an order not picked up within its window, and it includes the wear described in section 2. If a piece arrives damaged in transit, or is not what you ordered, write to us within seven days of receipt and we will put it right.

7. Your agreement

Before checkout you are shown the short version above and asked to agree to it. We record that you did, the date and time, and the wording that was live at the time, and that record is attached to your order. Continuing to checkout means you accept the pre-order arrangement, the as-is condition, the collection or delivery terms that apply to your order, and that all orders are final.
