Lincoln: Capitol, Cornhuskers, and the Plains Prairie
Lincoln became the Nebraska state capital in 1867, just months after Nebraska entered the Union as the 37th state. The city was renamed from Lancaster in the same act that moved the capital from Omaha, a choice driven by political maneuvering among legislators who wanted the seat of government south of the Platte River. The current State Capitol, completed in 1932 and designed by Bertram Goodhue, rises 400 feet above the surrounding prairie and is topped by a bronze statue of a sower casting seed. Its Art Deco tower remains the second-tallest capitol building in the United States.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln enrolls roughly 24,000 students on two campuses and serves as the flagship institution of the state's university system. Memorial Stadium opened in 1923 and has sold out every Cornhuskers home football game since 1962, a streak that stands as the longest in college football. On game days the stadium becomes the third-largest population center in the state, drawing more than 85,000 fans for a single afternoon.
The Haymarket District grew from a cluster of nineteenth-century warehouses serving the Burlington Railroad into a restored entertainment and dining zone. Pinnacle Bank Arena, opened in 2013, anchors the West Haymarket and hosts Nebraska men's basketball along with concerts and conventions. Kawasaki Motors Manufacturing operates a large production facility in Lincoln that builds Jet Ski watercraft, ATVs, and rail cars for the North American market.
