Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball (1940s–2001)

Buck Beltzer Stadium (originally The Nebraska Diamond) was a college baseball stadium on the campus of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in Lincoln, Nebraska. It primarily served as the home venue for the Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball team from 1979 until 2001, when the university constructed Hawks Field at Haymarket Park. It was named after Oren "Buck" Beltzer, a standout football and baseball player at Nebraska who was captain of both teams in 1909.[2]
