The CCIW, recognized as one of the “Best Small-College Conferences in the Nation,”
has seen its share of success throughout its time, with 40 NCAA Division III national

big blue football 2010 - 22 FRANK M. LINDSAY FIELD
Named in memory of long-time Decatur
business leader and media owner, and
recognizing the support given to Millikin by
his family, Frank M. Lindsay Field was
dedicated on Oct. 17, 1987.
Gifts from the Lindsay family and from
an endowment fund created in 1961 by
former members of the defunct Kappa
Delta Chi fraternity financed the project.
Donations from the classes of 1979 and
1980 assisted in the purchase of a new
scoreboard, while a new sound system, an
improved drainage system and an under-
ground irrigation system were also added.
Frank M. Lindsay Field seats 4,000,
including seating for 2,300 spectators on
the west side. Lindsay Field also includes a
concession stand and restrooms under the
southwest
corner of the grandstand.
A state-of-the-art press box is located
on the west side of the field. Construction
of the new press box concluded in Spring
2001 and was funded entirely with the gift of
$800,000 from the late F. Merrill and the late Margery
"Sis" Lindsay.
The lower level features expanded working
spaces for print and electronic media. It has up-to-
date features including telephone and Internet con-
nections in all boxes. Game-day clock workers,
coaches and the Sports Information staff join the
media in the lower level. A large guest area is
located on the second level, and videographers can
find a clear view of the field from the top of the
second level.
The press box is handicap-accessible by
elevator from both levels, is air-conditioned and heat-
ed with restroom facilities on each floor. In the sum-
mer of 2001, the press box was used when Millikin
hosted the NCAA Division III Track & Field
Championships and the USATF Youth
Championships. Millikin also hosted the NCAA
Division III Outdoor Championships and the USATF
Masters Meet in 2003.
Millikin awarded an honorary degree to Frank
Lindsay in 1954 and to his son, F. Merrill Lindsay in
1981, making them one of the only two father-son
combinations so recognized by the University.
F. Merrill Lindsay and his wife, Sis, donated a
gift of $1 million to Millikin in 1997 for the new run-
ning track around the football field. The gift provided
the impetus for the track project.
Frank M. Lindsay Field served as the site of the
Millikin football program’s 500th win. The Big Blue
won the program’s 500th contest on Nov. 13, 2004, a
45-24 victory over Illinois Wesleyan University.
big blue football 2010- 23 BIG BLUE ATHLETIC TRAINING
The mission of Millikin’s Athletic Training Education Program is to provide
quality education for students wishing to become certified athletic trainers.
At Millikin, athletic training students function as integral members of the athletic
health care team in cooperation with medical personnel, athletic administrators,
coaches and parents. Admission to the program is very selective, and interested
students complete general athletic training classes during their first year before
undergoing a rigorous interview process to receive full admission into the program.
Students are chosen based on their academic performance, their admittance
interview and clinical performance.
Interested in being an athletic trainer? Here’s what you can expect as a part of
Millikin’s nationally accredited program.
• A Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training
• Ability to sit for the Board Certification exam after degree completion
• Four years of intensive study, including courses in Exercise Science, Biology,
Chemistry, Nursing and Psychology
• Professional hands-on training under the supervision of certified athletic trainers
while developing skills in the prevention, evaluation, management and rehabilitation
of injuries to Millikin athletes
• Off-campus learning experiences through rotations at the offices of the team
physicians and in local sports medicine clinics
• Practice and in-game experience during rotations with each of Millikin’s 20
varsity sports
