The Bronze Stalk Trophy is presented to the winner of the annual college football game between Mid-American Conference rivals Northern Illinois University and Ball State University. The two interstate rivals began competing for this trophy in 2008.[1]
Designed by nationally recognized sculptor and DeKalb, Illinois (home to Northern Illinois University) artist Renee Bemis, the trophy depicts several cornstalks in tribute to the prevalence of maize around the respective home states of the rivals.
The first meeting between the two occurred in 1941, a 6–6 tie; the Cardinals lead the all-time series at 20–19–2, but the Huskies have won 12 of the last 15 meetings. Ball State won the inaugural contest for the Bronze Stalk at Scheumann Stadium in 2008, with Northern Illinois winning the trophy for the first time the following season on Brigham Field at Huskie Stadium.[2]
