The University of Nebraska has begun offering pieces of its Memorial Stadium to fans and collectors in anticipation of the venue’s upcoming renovation, including game-used urinal troughs priced at $3,000 each. The university plans to replace these original fixtures as part of its “Big Red Rebuild,” a major renovation project scheduled for completion by the 2028 season.

Fans and interested buyers can also purchase stainless steel water fountain troughs from the stadium for $2,500 apiece. According to the sale details, the urinal troughs measure between 72 and 96 inches in length, weigh approximately 300 pounds, and have been fully cleaned. The troughs date back to the stadium’s 103-year history and are being marketed as unique conversation pieces and collectibles.

Joe DiPietro, co-founder of Rare Goods, the company managing the sales, reported that as of early Monday, seven of the 30 urinals available had already been sold. While the troughs have garnered attention for their novelty, DiPietro noted that stadium seats remain the most popular items, retailing at $25 each. These seats allow fans to claim the exact spot where they once sat during games. Additionally, benches crafted from reclaimed wood from the stadium have been well received, priced at $429.

This sale is part of a broader trend among sports venues to sell remnants of their old facilities after renovations or relocations. For example, the Buffalo Bills previously sold urinal troughs from their former Highmark Stadium at $5,000 apiece, highlighting the artifacts' sentimental value connected to “decades of unforgettable moments.”

The university’s sales campaign also includes various Memorial Stadium restroom signs and other memorabilia, many of which have already sold out within minutes of posting. Items are being released in waves, and each piece will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity confirming its original location within the stadium.

Buyers of larger items, such as the urinal troughs, must arrange appointments in Lincoln to take possession. The removal window for all purchased pieces is set for November 22 through December 1, following the conclusion of Nebraska’s home football season later in November. The effort offers fans an uncommon opportunity to own a tangible part of Memorial Stadium’s storied history as the university prepares for its next chapter.
