is a sports bar unlike any other in Central
Nebraska. Square foot for square foot Balz
is as good if not better than any sports bar
anywhere! Hundreds of auto- graphed baseballs,
bats, basketballs & boxing gloves line the walls of
the bar. Balz sits right north of the Conestoga Mall.
The atmosphere reflects the outdoor sports feel with
an outfield on the south wall and the ceiling is painted sky
blue with clouds. There are 41 - 27 inch TV's and 8 - 42"
Plasma TV's, 1 - 52" and two 6 x 8 foot projection TV's that
have their own satellite dishes. Balz is one of the very few that
can give you 11 games at one time! If there's a game on, we have it!

In addition, it is the #1 keno outlet with keno tickets that resemble game tickets with game room in the back and a group of tables along the south wall with display cases housing memorabilia. Guests may put their drinks and food a-top the glass cover and view the items inside.

The baseball case includes balls signed by Ted Williams, former President, George Bush Sr.(valued at $1000), Nolan Ryan, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens along with bats from Cal Ripken, George Brett, Tony Pena and Ozzie Smith and Barry Bonds. There will be a lot more added to this collection by the end of August so come in and check out what's new! The bar also has a Nolan Ryan autographed baseball jersey and signed pictures from all kinds of athletes, including golfing greats Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Phil Mickelson.

Jeff Richardson, also knows as Whitey, is a former major leaguer which made it easy to collect all of his memorabilia. He played for the Cincinnati Reds in 1989 under Manager, Pete Rose, the Pittsburg Pirates in 1991 and the Boston Red Sox in 1993.

Balz sports bar is not just a bar, it's an experience. The "old man" can tell his son about all the great athletes and tell a few stories about the glory days of the game.
