Lincoln DOOH · Haymarket · State Capitol · Memorial Stadium · June 2026
The capital of Nebraska, a Cornhusker city that crossed 300,000, from the Haymarket to the State Capitol to the O Street commute, bookable by the hour, priced per play, matched to how Lincoln actually moves.
Lincoln billboard and DOOH (digital out-of-home) costs span from a few cents per play on urban panels to premium Haymarket, Pinnacle Bank Arena and landmark networks. On Blindspot, Lincoln screens are booked by the hour and priced per play, entry plays start around $0.25, with no contracts or minimums.
The smart Lincoln play isn't one screen for a month. It's the right screens at the right hours: the arteries at commute peak, the malls through the afternoon, the nightlife and tourist cores after dark.

Pedestrian-scale panels and citylights in high-footfall retail and downtown corridors.
Highway and arterial bulletins built for commuter frequency on the busiest routes.
High-intent shoppers from midday to evening across the city's retail destinations.
StarTran bus screens plus stations and place-based screens with captive dwell.
Landmark and spectacular placements for brand statements in the city's signature locations.
Location insights
Lincoln is the capital of Nebraska and home of the Cornhuskers, a fast-growing government and university city that crossed 300,000 people. Mornings load the O Street, Highway 2 and I-80 commute toward downtown, the Capitol and the campus; evenings pull crowds to the Haymarket warehouse district, the Pinnacle Bank Arena and the O Street restaurants; on autumn Saturdays Memorial Stadium becomes one of the largest crowds in the state as the Sea of Red fills the stands. The University of Nebraska packs students downtown, and StarTran runs the city bus hub. Buy the morning freeway push and the Haymarket evening peak.
State Capitol and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.
Pinnacle Bank Arena and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
Haymarket shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Lincoln doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch | Haymarket + State Capitol | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | Memorial Stadium, State Capitol | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | Pinnacle Bank Arena, Haymarket | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | O Street / Highway 2 corridor, State Capitol | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Haymarket, East Lincoln | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Lincoln’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.
The zones above already draw a specific buyer: insurance and financial services professionals through O Street / Highway 2 corridor, home to Ameritas' headquarters at 5900 O Street and fellow insurer Assurity, two of Lincoln's largest employers (see DOOH for Fintech), and college sports crowds through Memorial Stadium, which seats 85,458 for Nebraska Cornhusker football.

Pricing · updated June 2026
Per-play prices, not CPM mysteries. Live per-screen pricing and real-time availability are on every card in the platform; the ranges below reflect typical Blindspot pricing as of June 2026.
| Format | Price per play | Typical presence | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roadside & freeway digital | from ~$0.25 per play | $100 buys hourly bursts on O Street and Highway 2 | drive-time commuter reach |
| Haymarket digital spectacular | from ~$0.43 per play | the downtown dining core | office and going-out dwell |
| Memorial Stadium game-day digital | from ~$0.40 per play | the campus and stadium blocks | Sea of Red and student audiences |
| O Street retail digital | from ~$0.30 per play | the busiest retail corridor | shopper and commuter crowd |
| StarTran transit screens | from ~$0.28 per play | the downtown bus hub and routes | walk-up urban commuters |
No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Lincoln screen: the format (pricing runs higher on starTran transit screens than on roadside & freeway digital), the zone (Haymarket & Downtown carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.
What a campaign costs
Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.
Commute test
A week of morning and evening bursts on the O Street corridor into Downtown.
Multi-zone Lincoln push
The Haymarket, the State Capitol and Memorial Stadium running together across peak dayparts.
Cornhusker flagship
Full Downtown and stadium saturation timed to a Huskers football season and the Pinnacle Bank Arena calendar.
FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, Lamar Advertising, OUTFRONT Media, Clear Channel Outdoor among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Specs vary by screen: orientation, resolution and file format differ from one panel to the next. Every screen shows its exact requirements in the platform before you upload, so there's no separate spec sheet to track down before you book.
Yes. Every Lincoln screen on Blindspot is bookable by the hour, with no minimum contract and no retainer. You pick the exact windows, so you can buy the morning commute on State Capitol & government district, the afternoon retail stretch around Pinnacle Bank Arena & the Railyard, or the evening social hours in Haymarket & Downtown, and skip everything between. Because you pay per play instead of for a fixed four-week flight, the same budget concentrated into proven peak windows buys more useful frequency than the same money spread across every hour including the overnight ones nobody sees. Availability and the per-play price are visible before you commit, and you can start with one screen and one daypart.
Blindspot puts the bookable digital out-of-home screens across Lincoln on a single map: roadside and boulevard LED, street-level panels and citylights, transit and station screens, mall and place-based displays, and landmark placements, all priced per play and bookable by the hour. That spans zones from Haymarket & Downtown through to East Lincoln & Gateway. The underlying screens are owned and run by media operators such as Lamar Advertising, OUTFRONT Media and Clear Channel Outdoor, and Blindspot books time on their existing, already-permitted structures rather than reselling a fixed package. You see each screen, its zone, its per-play price and its live availability before committing, so you are choosing specific screens and hours rather than buying an unspecified network bundle.
Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Content approval typically averages around two business days across networks.
More than most people expect, because you are buying plays rather than weeks. A $500 budget in Lincoln typically funds a multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic corridor such as State Capitol & government district, a concentrated burst across the busiest retail and transit screens at peak hours only, or thousands of plays on central urban panels where the per-play price is lowest. At entry prices around $0.25 per play, the arithmetic is straightforward and visible before you commit. What it will not stretch to is 24/7 coverage of a landmark spectacular, and that is the point of hourly buying: concentrate a small budget where and when it is seen instead of thinning it across hours with no audience.
No. Blindspot has no minimums, retainers or platform fees; you can run a focused hourly burst on a single screen or a full multi-zone Lincoln campaign.
