Model of Lincoln Bowl Stadium and Lincoln Park improvement project. The model was made by Fred Zinn, WPA commercial artist and draftsman, and shows the site of the proposed new Lincoln Bowl. The arena would be located in the gulch between Lincoln High School and Lincoln Park. The school would lose a small strip of land at the rear of the school and the park would lose a small wooded area at the east side of the park. The Bowl would seat 10,000 on concrete steps and cost about $250,000. Proponents of the Bowl were trying to get it on the November 8th ballot, proposing that the district levy be increased by 1 mill. to raise the $50,000 needed to match $200,000 in federal grant funds.
