LITTLE GIANT STADIUM AND FRANK NAVARRO FIELD Little Giant Stadium provides Wabash with a first-rate NCAA Division III facility for the campus community, fans, and the student-athletes on the football and track and field teams. This once-in-a-generation project is a showcase for student recruitment during home events and summer camps. The $15 million stadium is fully accessible and includes a main grandstand with seating for more than 3,500 fans; media, game operations, and coaching booths; a second-floor W. Club Lounge with four dedicated suites; ticketing and concession areas; FieldTurf playing field and Beynon all-weather track surface; a new and relocated scoreboard; and the Hall of Giants that celebrates our rich tradition of athletics excellence. Lead donor Kevin G. Clifford ’77 and his family chose to pay tribute to former Wabash football coach Frank Navarro by naming the playing field in his honor. Coach Navarro led the Little Giants from 1974 to 1977 and Mr. Clifford served as a student assistant coach in his senior year. Mr. Clifford was a member of the Wabash Board of Trustees from 1994 through 2014. He had an enormously successful career as a key leader of the Capital Group. He retired in 2019 after 37 years of service, including as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of American Funds Distributors. Coach Navarro’s 1977 team posted an 11-2 record and advanced to the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl (the Division III National Championship game). The clock ran out on Wabash in a 39-36 shootout loss to Widener in the title game. Navarro’s 1976 team went 7-3 to post the College’s first winning season in 10 years, and he led Wabash to 5-0 home records in both 1976 and 1977. Wabash football is the fifth winningest football program in NCAA Division III. The Little Giants have posted a 173-37 record since 2001 (.823), won nine North Coast Athletic Conference Championships, and made the Division III Playoffs eight times over that span. The College’s track and field team has won 15 indoor and outdoor North Coast Athletic Conference Championships since 2011.

A HISTORY
of
LITTLE GIANT STADIUM
Baseball was the first sport played on campus. In this view from the 1870s, the diamond is seen in the upper left corner of campus, roughly the spot where Little Giant Stadium stands today.
post-WWI An undated photo of the first-ever bleachers, which were erected post-World War I. During this time, the field was oriented north to south. The house pictured behind the bleachers sat on Crawford Street and was torn down to build the Allen Center. It sat about where the west end of the Knowling Fieldhouse is today.
1904 Scene from the Wabash-IU game from 1904.
In 1929, Athletic Director Harry Scholler was determined to light the field for night football, an experiment that had worked well in the states west of Indiana. The lighting experiment was successful. The first game or two to be played at night attracted sufficiently large crowds, mostly due to the novelty. As the season went on and the weather grew colder, it became a chore for all but the most eager lovers of football to stay out in the damp cold of an autumn night.

A rendition of Little Giant Stadium used at the facility dedication in 1966. From The Bachelor on October 7, 1966, “The 4,200-seat stadium, which looks down on historic Ingalls Field, is the anonymous gift of a Wabash benefactor who donated most of the $165,000 needed to make the permanent stands a reality. Outstanding features of the stadium include an all-weather press box and bright scarlet seats to match the college colors.”
The first artificial turf playing surface at Hollett Little Giant Stadium was dedicated to the memory of David Hunter Sewell ’76 and named Sewell Field from 2010 to 2019 through the generosity of Gary ’77 and Joanne Reamey.

1956 Wabash College hosted the 1956 U.S. Olympic Decathlon Trials on June 13–14. Rafer Johnson and Milt Campbell finished 1-2 in the event. Campbell went on to win gold at the Olympics in Melbourne, while Johnson won gold in the event in Rome in 1960.

NAMED SPACES Throughout Little Giant Stadium are spaces named in honor of hard-working student athletes, dedicated coaches, and unwavering fans and benefactors of Wabash College. Hawksworth Scoreboard The Hawksworth Scoreboard honors Paul D. “Howie” Hawksworth, Jr. ’56. It was made possible by the generosity of his Wabash sons: Dave Hawksworth ’88, Mike Hawksworth ’91, and Jim Hawksworth ’96. “Thy loyal sons shall ever love thee.”
Huntsman Family Track The Huntsman Family Track honors the memory of three legendary men: J. Owen Huntsman H’71, who coached track and cross country from 1949 to 1971, and won 184 dual meets, seven Little State Track Championships, and four Little State Cross Country Titles; Stanley Huntsman ’54, who was the greatest all-around athlete of his era and went on to coach the United State Olympic Track and Field Team in Seoul, South Korea; and Jerry Huntsman ’52, who was a star football and track athlete. All three are members of the Wabash Athletics Hall of Fame. The track was originally dedicated on October 9, 1971, in honor of J. Owen and was rededicated on September 18, 2021.
Stephenson Gateway Plaza The Stephenson Gateway Plaza is made possible by the generosity of Richard J Stephenson ’62, a distinguished entrepreneur and philanthropist, his wife Dr. Stacie J. Stephenson, and the entire Stephenson Family. The Stephenson Gateway Plaza provides a welcome to visitors of Little Giant Stadium. Located off Jennison Street, the outdoor plaza offers the opportunity for fans to connect as they enter the main stadium gates. Brick pillars, landscaped beds, and outdoor seating are highlights of this center of activity on game days, as well as for significant campus events and experiences throughout the year. A key design element of the plaza is the limestone rendering of the College’s seal, which underscores Wabash’s commitment to its liberal arts mission. 16
Concession Area The concession area recognizes the generosity of Dr. Frank ’82 and Lisa Kolisek. Frank is a member of the Board of Trustees and was a kicker/ punter on the football team and a pitcher on the baseball team from 1978 to 1982.

Parrish Team Tunnel Honoring the legacy of Stan Parrish, who coached the Little Giants from 1978 to 1982, which included two undefeated seasons (1980 and 1982) and an overall record of 42-3-1.
Frank Navarro Field The football field at Little Giant Stadium is named in memory of Coach Frank Navarro, a Hall of Fame football coach who turned around Wabash’s program and led the College to the 1977 NCAA Division III Stagg Bowl National Championship Game. 17
Ralph Lee Wilson was the top high school athlete in Montgomery County when he graduated from Crawfordsville High School in 1910. Hailing from the Round Hill Neighborhood, Coach Jesse Harper convinced Wilson to attend Wabash and play football for the Little Giants. A tall, lean runner, Wilson caught Harper’s eye for his fierceness and ability to break the big play. After Wabash had defeated Georgetown and Purdue, Wilson became a starter and helped the Little Giants defeat Butler 48-0. In the fourth game of the season, at St. Louis University, Wilson broke a 30-yard touchdown run to get Wabash on the scoreboard 5-0. A few plays later, Wilson was terminally injured when he tackled a St. Louis ball carrier. He died of a skull fracture in the middle of the night, but just before his death, he regained consciousness and uttered his now-famous last words, “Did Wabash Win?” Indeed, Wabash won 10-0 and the remainder of the season was canceled. The 1910 Little Giants finished the year undefeated and unscored upon for the only time in Wabash history. (Text is taken directly from the plaque that hangs in the stadium)
NAMED SPACES W. Club Lounge The W. Club Lounge is made possible by the generosity of Kevin G. Clifford ’77 and Family. The W. Club Lounge offers a premium game day experience for Wabash fans, featuring 245 chair back seats and exclusive access to game day hospitality with catered food and beverage.
