The Facility
Clark Field is named after distinguished coach, athlete, and Principia "Hall of Famer" Bertram Clark Junior. Clark was a member of two undefeated football teams at Principia (Junior) College, and later was a star football player at the University of Missouri where he is now a member of their Hall of Fame. Clark returned to Principia and coached the legendary 1933 football team, a team with a perfect- undefeated, untied, and unscored upon- season.
Clark Field consists of the college footbal field, complete with a press box and stadium seats for 800 people, and it is currently the competition site for the college's rugby team, the Thunder Chickens. Surrounding the field is a 6-lane, 400 meter track with a long jump / triple jump sand pit, pole vault station, and high jump station.
