A legendary figure in Nebraska sports history is set to be forever immortalized, as a statue honoring softball star Jordy Bahl will be unveiled at Memorial Stadium. Bahl, a hometown hero from Papillion, Nebraska, became a national sensation for her dominant performances in collegiate softball, including a championship-winning stint with Oklahoma before transferring to Nebraska to finish her career.
Her return to Nebraska ignited fan fervor and helped elevate the profile of women’s athletics in the state. The statue, symbolizing her impact on and off the field, will stand as a testament to her leadership, tenacity, and historic contributions to Husker athletics.
The ceremony is expected to draw fans, alumni, and former teammates, paying tribute to Bahl’s legacy as one of the most influential athletes in Nebraska’s history. For young athletes, her journey from local standout to national champion and back to her roots serves as an inspiration.
Set against the backdrop of Memorial Stadium, traditionally home to football greatness, the unveiling marks a significant recognition of softball’s rise in the Cornhusker State—and Jordy Bahl’s indelible mark on it. Her story, now cast in bronze, will inspire generations to come.
