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!

2. Correct!

I think you’re right. #3 is Woods.

Where is Doris Bair? I don’t recognize the name.
Mr. Wilson
May 15, 2009 at 3:12PM
1. Correct!
5. You’re in the neighborhood.
6. Correct!
8. Correct!
9. Correct!
10. Correct!
Mr. Wilson
May 15, 2009 at 3:14PM
5. Correct!
3. Half credit. What is it called?
Mr. Wilson
May 15, 2009 at 3:15PM
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.

Didn’t there used to be a strip club on that stretch of North 48th?
Mr. Wilson
May 15, 2009 at 6:17PM
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.

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
May 15, 2009 at 6:46PM
The young man is very wise! #7 is indeed a photo of the fields at Lincoln Southeast High School.

Nebraska Wesleyan Field? Although I thought it was a Kiwanis field.
Mr. Wilson
May 15, 2009 at 8:27PM
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!

I appreciated seeing something I recognized. I always look at Mr. T’s photos and have absolutely no idea….

Regretfully, I didn’t spot this entry until today. Very cool idea for a puzzle!
