Below is part of a story from the Fall 2004 Linfield Athletics Newsletter. Did you recall the year was 2004 when the Maxwell Field revamp happened?
Historic Maxwell Field, home to Linfield football and track teams since 1928, has undergone a $1.44 million facelift. Funded entirely by private donations and volunteer labor, the facility now sports a new synthetic field, polyurethane track, stadium lights, scoreboard with color video display, and pressbox.
Ground was broken March 11, marking the start of the most ambitious renovation in the storied venue’s history.
The newly enhanced field and scoreboard will be formally rededicated Sept. 4 at a ceremony following the final preseason football scrimmage. Alumni, fans and community supporters are welcome to attend. College President Dr. Vivian A. Bull, Director of Athletics Scott Carnahan '73, Wildcats football coach Jay Locey and senior football player Zach Fleming are featured speakers. The scrimmage starts at 9:30 a.m., with the ceremony following at 11 a.m.
