SHIRK FIELDat Musselman Stadium 1 23 4 5 6 Photos 1-6 track the evolution of Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium from natural grass to the state-of-the-art artifi cial surface pictured below. Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium State-of-the-art artifi cial turf was installed at Musselman Stadium prior to the 2003 season thanks to the generosity of Richard D. Shirk ’67, starting quarterback of the 1966 squad that won the Lambert Cup as the top College Division program in the East. Musselman Stadium retained its long-time name, but the fi eld itself was named in recognition of the Shirk Family Foundation’s gift. “Artifi cial turf returns Musselman Stadium to the status of an elite venue at the NCAA Division III level,” said Director of Athletics David Wright. In December 2009, Shirk Field had its artifi cial turf resurfaced for the fi rst time. The former in-fi ll synthetic grass surface called AstroPlay was replaced by a DuraSpine Monofi lament Turf System created by FieldTurf, which manufactures the playing surface for numerous teams in the National Football League. Shirk Field is shared by the Bullets football, fi eld hockey, and men’s lacrosse teams. In the spring of 2010, men’s lacrosse became the fi rst team to compete on the new surface, which opened to rave reviews by players and fans alike for its lush cushioning and stunning graph- ics. Shirk – now the retired president and chief executive offi cer of Cerule- an Companies, Inc., parent of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia – was a two-year football letterwinner. As a junior in 1965, he was a starting defensive back as well as the backup for 1985 Hall of Athletic Honor inductee and future NFL quar- terback Jim Ward ’66. The next season, Shirk was one of three team captains who led the Bullets to a 7-2 record and the region’s top team honor. He was also a starting catcher on the Bullets baseball team.
