Future of Lincoln Ice Rink Uncertain

city-of-lincolnLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The future of a proposed ice rink in Lincoln remain uncertain despite a $7 million pledge from a former state auditor, but the plans may become more clear when University of Nebraska officials examine the project next month.

The university’s Board of Regents is tentatively scheduled to discuss plans for the ice rink on Jan. 24.

John Breslow first announced his donation for the ice rink in 2007. At that point, the facility was slated to open in the Haymarket with two indoor ice rinks in early 2010.

But the ice rink project has languished while university and city officials focused on finishing the new Pinnacle Bank Arena for basketball and events.
