All Nebraska sporting events are still in shutdown because of the COVID-19, but everyone can still stay active on their own by walking, running, riding their bikes, and even golfing, but you must stay the advised 6 feet apart. Nebraska is better off than our neighbor Colorado as there is no golf allowed at all down their way.
