<p>Both physics and astronomy have been taught at UNL since the University first opened its doors to students in 1871. In the earliest years, classes consisted merely of recitations by students of material memorized from their textbooks; there were no lectures, discussions, or laboratories.</p><p>As the University grew, there began to be more specialization and under the enlightened leadership of some of the early chancellors several excellent scholars were added to the faculty. One of these was DeWitt Bristol Brace who came to Nebraska in 1887. His contributions to UNL and to the field of physics were numerous, and it is in his honor that Brace Hall, completed in December of 1905, was named.</p><p>For further information consult the book <em>Science on the Great Plains: The History of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln</em> by M. Eugene Rudd, published by the University of Nebraska in 1992.</p>

<p>Proposed by John Selleck, business manager for the Athletic Department, the Coliseum was financed by the Nebraska Athletic Alumni Association. George Holmes again arranged for financing through his office as president of the First National Bank. Davis and Wilson, having successfully designed and constructed the Stadium, were hired to design the Coliseum. It was completed in time for Commencement exercises to be held there in the spring of 1926.</p><p>The Coliseum was intended to provide space for sporting and social events. Univeristy officials decided to incorporate a stage into the design, making the Coliseum a versatile building which could be used for an assortment of activities. While the original building was constructed with funds provided by the NAAA, the stage addition was financed by the University.</p><p>Stylistically the Coliseum blends well with the other buildings on Memorial Mall, particularly Morrill Hall and Memorial Stadium.

<p>The influences of parks such as the Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City, Victory Field in Indianapolis and Franklin Covey Field in Salt Lake City, are evident throughout Hawks Field at Haymarket Park. The exterior is of red-brick, while the spacious concourse level is highlighted by exposed ironwork. The playing surface is nestled in a bowl, allowing berm seating along both lines and throughout the outfield and a raised batter’s eye consisting of pine trees in center field.</p><p>The features make Haymarket Park a first-class facility. The ballpark’s setting also allowed the designers to use Memorial Stadium and downtown Lincoln to provide a picturesque backdrop in the outfield. In May of 2002, the pedestrian connector was completed, allowing fans to make the walk from downtown Lincoln to the center field entrance of Haymarket Park.</p><p>Although many of the park’s amenities – the 4,419 chairback seats, 16 suites, a towering video board/scoreboard in right center field, the Buck Beltzer Playground for kids down the right field line and numerous restrooms and concession stands – are apparent to fans, the most unique feature is the one-of-a-kind SubAir system. The technology can both heat and cool the field, allowing grass to be grown nearly year-round. Hawks Field was one of the first facilities - and the first collegiate venue - in the country that used the state-of-the art SubAir system.</p><p>Hawks Field at Haymarket Park was selected as the best playing surface in each of its five years of existence. In November of 2003, Hawks Field received another honor, as it won the Baseball Field of the Year Award in the College/University division by the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA). The ballpark is more than a playing field for the Huskers. It includes medical and laundry facilities, coaches’ offices and a 1,400 square foot locker room and adjacent clubhouse, giving the Husker program one of the best baseball setups in the country.</p>
