NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State Athletics announced on Tuesday the playing surface inside the OSF HealthCare Athletics Training Facility has been officially named Barnett Family Field in recognition of the continuous support from former Illinois State football quarterback Danny Barnett and his family. The project was approved at the February 21, 2025, Illinois State Board of Trustees meeting.
The announcement comes on the heels of ISU Athletics and OSF HealthCare officially celebrating the naming of the OSF HealthCare Athletics Training Facility in April at an open house event prior to the spring football scrimmage.
"Illinois State University has held a place in my heart since I was 18 years old," Danny Barnett said.
