BOCA RATON – Florida Atlantic University Athletics has unveiled a new center-field mark for Howard Schnellenberger Field.
The legendary coach and architect of FAU Football passed away in March. FAU announced a number of ways the Owls will continue to honor Coach Schnellenberger’s legacy in the days after his passing, including adding ‘Howard Schnellenberger Field’ on the turf inside FAU Stadium.
“We’re excited to unveil our new 50-yard line logo for Howard Schnellenberger Field,” Vice President and Director of Athletics Brian White said. “FAU Football wouldn’t be the program it is now without Coach Schnellenberger. This is one of many ways we are planning to continue honoring his legacy this season and into the future.”
FAU also recently announced a date for a Celebration of Life for Coach Schnellenberger. That event will be held from 5-8 p.m. Sept. 10 at FAU Stadium.
