 FAU
Football
Stadium
Boca Raton, FL
A new chapter in the short history of
the Florida Atlantic Owls football program begins in 2011 as they
move into FAU Football Stadium. For ten seasons the football team
played at Lockhart Stadium, a stadium originally built for high
school football. The Owls, led by Coach Howard Schnellenberger, on
the field, helped the team off the field by leading the push to have
a new stadium built for the football program. Construction of the
$70 million facility began in 2009. The stadium was built as part of
Florida Atlantic's Innovation Village that includes the stadium,
residence halls, retail shopping areas and a convocation center. FAU
Football Stadium has a seating capacity of 30,000 that includes 24
luxury suites and 5,000 club seats. The Owls play their first game
at the stadium on October 15, 2011 against Western Kentucky. |
