You say you just made a killing on the stock market and are now woth tens of millions of dollars? You say you'd like to take that newfound wealth and get a skybox at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln to watch your favorite college football team?
Stand in line, pal -- it might be a while before one comes open for you.
A recent story in the Omaha World-Herald noted that most, if not all, of the leases on the original skyboxes at Memorial Stadium are up for renewal, and University of Nebraska officials expect most to be renewed.
The skyboxes were built in time for the 1999 season, two years after Nebraska's run of three national titles in four years. Of the 42 skyboxes, 29 were leased by what the university called "Cornerstone members" at a price of $75,000 a year for 10 years, with first right of refusal on an additional 10-year lease.
University officials said they expect those leases to be renewed after this season at a cost of $85,000 a year for 10 years, or $90,000 a year for five years. If not, there is a list of about 10 individuals or businesses that want to get their foot in the door, so to speak.
