THE LINCOLN ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 2

Memorial Stadium

John Latenser, Sr. is the architect of Memorial Stadium. Located on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska, this stadium is a central landmark of the city. It is an American football stadium that primarily serves as the home venue of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team. Beyond the roar of the game, the site is used for academic milestones, as it hosts the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's spring commencement ceremony. I have seen plenty of crowds in my time from the air, but the energy here is something else entirely. Whether you are visiting for a game or a graduation, the scale of the place is impressive. It is a great spot to see how the city rallies around its team and its students.

University of Nebraska State Museum

You might think this is just another university office, but it is actually the University of Nebraska State Museum. This natural history museum is housed in Morrill Hall on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. It is a great spot to see the paleontology, biodiversity, and cultural diversity of the Great Plains. I've noticed the building has a certain presence on the campus that makes it easy to spot. The museum was founded in 1871 and has since expanded its reach, becoming a Smithsonian Affiliate in 2013. Whether you are a student or just visiting Lincoln, the exhibits provide a detailed look at the region's prehistoric and biological records. It is one of those places where you can really feel the history of the land and the people who lived here.

Sheldon Museum of Art

Established in 1963, the Sheldon Museum of Art is a university museum located on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Philip Johnson acted as the architect for the site, which is designed in the style of modern architecture. You can find the museum at 451 North 12th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. Because of its design and history, it is a National Register of Historic Places listed place. If you look closely at the walls, you will notice the building is made of Italian travertine. It was funded by siblings Mary Frances and Adams Bromley Sheldon. I've noticed that the clean lines of the travertine make it a very easy landmark to spot while you're navigating the campus.

Museum of American Speed

This is not a place for slow walks or quiet contemplation of still life. The Museum of American Speed is a nonprofit automobile museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, that celebrates the thrill of the drive. I can show you a collection that focuses on American racing vehicles, performance parts, and automotive memorabilia. It is a destination for anyone who appreciates the engineering and history of the open road. The museum was founded in 1992 and has been in operation since that time. To accommodate its growing exhibits, the museum was housed in a 135,000 sq ft facility as of 2013. It is a great spot to see how speed has been captured in steel and chrome over the years.

Green grass and open air define this spot. Let me show you Schwartzkopf Park, which is a park in the city of Lincoln. It is a place where you can step away from the pavement and enjoy a bit of nature. I find it is a great spot for a quick stretch of the wings.

HOLE 7 - PAR 4

Cooper Park

You might think this is just another green space, but Cooper Park is the oldest park in Lincoln. Located on 6th and D Streets in Lincoln, Nebraska, this urban park has a history that goes beyond simple leisure. It was once a former American football field, providing a home for athletes long before the modern stadiums of the city existed. Specifically, it served as the first home venue of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team in 1891 and 1892. Whether you are visiting for the fresh air or the local history, it is a grounded piece of the city's past. I've noticed it's a great spot to clear your head while imagining the crowds from over a century ago.

HOLE 8 - PAR 3

Statue of Abraham Lincoln

You will first notice a bronze figure standing 2.6 meters tall on the grounds of the Nebraska State Capitol. This is the Statue of Abraham Lincoln, a piece created by Daniel Chester French in 1912. The monument was commissioned by the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Association of Lincoln, Nebraska. Visitors often recognize the work by its other name, The Gettysburg Lincoln. I find the bronze finish holds up well against the Nebraska weather, though I mostly just appreciate the sturdy ledge it provides for a quick break between flights. It is a focal point of the capitol grounds and a significant stop for anyone visiting the state's capital city to see how the local community chose to honor the sixteenth president.

HOLE 9 - PAR 4

Centennial Mall

Let me show you Centennial Mall, a public park in Lincoln. While the space was originally envisioned in 1922, it took several decades for the formal dedication of the 15th Street Mall on July 22, 1972. Later that year, on December 18, the Lincoln City Council renamed the expanse Centennial Mall to honor the 1967 centennial of the State of Nebraska. Today, you can pick out how the mall stretches northwards from the Nebraska State Capitol to the University of Nebraska - Lincoln's city campus. It is a long walk for humans, but it is only seven blocks. The area was renovated in 2016, making it a great spot to relax. I find the open layout quite helpful for spotting crumbs from a distance.

STOP 10

NU Coliseum

You will likely notice a lot of students heading inside this building for exercise and activities. This is the Nebraska Coliseum, an arena and multi-purpose hall located on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska. While it is now used primarily for student recreation, it has a storied athletic history. The venue served as the home for the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's men's basketball and volleyball teams. The volleyball program eventually moved to the Bob Devaney Sports Center in 2013, which shifted the coliseum's primary role to the recreational use you see today. It is a great spot to see how the university balances its competitive sports legacy with daily student life.
