Some may say sports are the heartbeat of the city here in Lincoln, Nebraska. From collegiate athletics to junior leagues and more, there’s a little bit of everything for the local sports spectators.

Husker Athletics

There’s no place quite like Lincoln, and specifically the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, when it comes to athletics. As a Division I university, Huskers compete at the highest level on the court, field, gym and track. No matter the season, you can keep up with Husker sports of all kinds.

Lincoln Stars — Hockey

Just down the street from campus is where the Lincoln Stars, a Tier I junior ice hockey team, hit center ice. Known for the electric fan atmosphere, Lincoln Stars games have become a staple for this city’s sports fans. Bring a friend, grab a snack and head over to the Ice Box!

Lincoln Saltdogs — Baseball

When the weather warms up, the baseball field is the perfect place to bask in the sun! The Lincoln Saltdogs are part of the American Association of Professional Baseball and put on a great show during the spring and summer.
