The statue stands 5½ feet tall and depicts Tillman in his looks, poised to sprint onto the field. It is strategically placed in front of the newly renovated entrance, which leads fans onto the north end.This location ensures that Tillman’s presence continues to inspire future.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥 The unveiling closed a 15-month facelift that repainted end zones, widened concourses, and modernized the scoreboard, part of a $225 million package approved in 2023. Phase II added new glass-and-brick archways and dramatically expanded sightlines toward downtown Lincoln, creating what project architect Marcos Iverson calls “a cathedral porch for college football.” Osborne’s statue now presides over that porch, ringed by native bluestem grass and granite pavers engraved with each of his conference championships. At night LED up-lighting bathes the bronze in warm amber, framing the coach against a crimson-lit “NEBRASKA” façade—a photographer’s dream that already dominates social media. Voices of Husker Nation For fans, the statue feels less like an addition than a reunion. “We still chant ‘There is no place like Nebraska,’ and that starts with Coach,” said 1983 linebacker Steve Damkroger, one of hundreds of former players who formed a human tunnel for Osborne’s ceremonial first walk past the statue. Current quarterback Daniel Kaelin touched the bronze shoe for luck and promised to make it a pre-game ritual. Families lingered to snap pictures, children emulating the coach’s stride, creating new memories atop old traditions.
