Why STMA Should conSider
your field A Winner?
Trinity is a small, Christian institution with fewer than
2,000 students. In 1988 Trinity started a football program
in the NAIA CCAC conference. The field was built and
named after the first coach, former Chicago Bear defen-
sive back Leslie Frazier, who now coaches in the National
Football League.
Our limited budget and resources make it a challenge
to keep up and maintain our field; however, with hard
work, diligence and pride we have one of the best fields in
the division. These accolades come from outside sources
such as the other teams and our suppliers, and in an age
where there is only a handful of natural grass fields left this
is a huge feather in our cap.
Another factor to consider for this award is that we
have a small crew of only three full-time and two part-
time staff for the entire university, which is more than
110 acres. This factor reinforces our application and
makes this field even more prestigious for our institution
to obtain. ■
STMA would like to thank Carolina Green, Ewing, Hunter In-
dustries and World Class Athletic Surfaces for their continued sup-
port of the Field of the Year Awards Program.
