A big celebration is planned for Saturday as the Lincoln Sports Foundation will host a “Stuff the Sleigh” open house and ribbon cutting for their newly renovated indoor facility near 70th and Arbor Road.
“This renovation we have all brand new hardwood courts, we’ve got all new hoops and divider curtains,” says Facilities Director Sam Lesoing. “It was basically a complete gut of everything on that side and replaced with everything new, state-of-the-art.”
Lesoing says this was one of their largest renovation projects in their history. Saturday’s ceremony runs from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. and will feature free professional photos with Santa, live reindeer, carolers, and tours of the newly renovated 10-court indoor facility.
Four of those courts are for basketball and the other ten for volleyball. One of the featured speakers will be Jordan Larson, Olympic Gold Medalist and Former Nebraska Volleyball Player. She will also be signing autographs at the event.
Lesoing says they will also be participating in The Salvation Army toy drive. He tells KLIN News the event marks a major milestone in LSF’s multi-year campus revitalization effort, transforming the former Abbott Sports Complex into a top-tier community sports destination.
