Play Ball!
Summertime is almost here, and that means there’s a very good chance you will soon find yourself on one of Lincoln’s many baseball and softball fields. Can you identify these ten ball fields?
Hint: Up is north!

Moses says One More Thing May 15, 2009 at 9:58am
5.Actually called Elks Field?
3. Is that the field at the South End of Woods Park
West A Dad says RE: One More Thing May 15, 2009 at 10:01am
I think you’re right. #3 is Woods.
Moses says RE: One More Thing May 15, 2009 at 10:09am
Where is Doris Bair? I don’t recognize the name.
Mr. Wilson says RE: One More Thing May 15, 2009 at 10:15am
Doris Bair is a softball complex located just north of 48th and Superior. It’s not a location you’re likely to stumble across on accident.
Mr. Wilson says RE: One More Thing May 15, 2009 at 10:14am
5. Correct!
3. Half credit. What is it called?
Moses says RE: One More Thing May 15, 2009 at 10:53am
Didn’t there used to be a strip club on that stretch of North 48th?
Mr. Wilson says Don't give up yet! May 15, 2009 at 1:17pm
We’re almost there, folks. We just need #7 and a correct name for #3. The latter is pretty easy; the former, not so much.
Moses says I have been trying to avoid hogging the glory... May 15, 2009 at 1:36pm
But, a young man who works for me says that 7 is Southeast High. Still don’t know the name of the field at Woods Park.
Mr. Wilson says RE: I have been trying to avoid hogging the glory... May 15, 2009 at 1:46pm
The young man is very wise! #7 is indeed a photo of the fields at Lincoln Southeast High School.
West A Dad says #3 May 15, 2009 at 3:17pm
Nebraska Wesleyan Field? Although I thought it was a Kiwanis field.
Mr. Wilson says RE: #3 May 15, 2009 at 3:27pm
As far as I can tell, it is called Nebraska Wesleyan Field at the Kiwanis Baseball Complex. That’s from here. I have always known it as Kiwanis Field for all non-NWU baseball purposes.
...And that means all 10 fields/complexes have been identified. Good work, everyone!
Moses says Thank You May 15, 2009 at 3:32pm
I appreciated seeing something I recognized. I always look at Mr. T’s photos and have absolutely no idea....
Nikkidemas says Too late May 16, 2009 at 11:02pm
Regretfully, I didn’t spot this entry until today. Very cool idea for a puzzle!
