The Lincoln Futbol Club soccer
fields are located behind the Wal-Mart Supercenter on a piece of
rolling ground. According to coach Tim Stuckey, the club had
minimal funds to work with when they started up, so they laid out
the fields to fit inside the contours of the land. He said it worked out nicely
in the end because there is plenty of parking for
the 200 or more vehicles that can be on the grounds at any one time.
Stuckey said soccer is definitely a family
sport. Players don't arrive in rented buses, they get there in
the back of mom and dad's van, and often bring along grandma and
grandpa. He estimated on a day like Sunday with 300, each
accompanied by family, there was a possibility of 800 to 1,000 people
visiting Lincoln and spending money here on fast food, cold drinks
and gas. Pictures by
