Nebraska Athletics details next steps in reseating process at Devaney Center
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Nebraska Athletics on Wednesday shared the next steps in the reseating of season ticket holders at the Devaney Center.
On the Huskers Athletic Fund website, Nebraska has released a timeline, which begins in November, outlining the process for reseating.
Earlier this year, Nebraska announced that season ticket holders are getting new seat assignments for the 2026 season, as over 1,000 seats are being added inside John Cook Arena.
“We must embrace the evolution of intercollegiate athletics and find ways to preserve our financial model,” Deputy AD of Revenue Generation Tyler Kai said on the web page’s overview.

All current season ticket holders and Huskers Athletic Fund members who enroll in the reseat request list will get an appointment time.
The availability of season tickets and parking will depend on the appointment time, which is determined by using the Huskers Athletic Fund ranking system.
The contribution and Huskers Athletic Fund ranking lock date is March 18, 2026.
Between April and May, HAF members, season ticket holders and fans on the waitlist will be notified of their reseating selection date and time.
Mackenzie Riesen is a UNL student season ticket holder to Nebraska Volleyball and treasures the chance to have prime seats.
“Being in the student section is just a lot of action,” she says, “it just nice to be close to the players, you’re more engaged.”
Riesen says the plans to reseat may not be ideal, but can understand it from a business perspective.
“I would say from a business route, I don’t know how else you would get the funds, other than from ticket holders” she says, “it’s not fun, but it’s the most logical.”
Heidi Fischer is a hospitality student at UNL and says within her field, she’s always learning how the impact of your engagement with your audience is crucial.
She says she hopes that the reseating doesn’t negatively influence the Husker’s fan base.
“I think that it’s so important that you keep your loyal fans,” she says, “you want to make sure that they don’t compromise on experience for money.”
As for the expansion of seats, Fischer says bigger isn’t always better.
“It’s sometimes better to have more smaller intimae crowds, and I think that’s what sets volleyball apart from even football,” she said.
