"I take great pride in the accomplishments of our players and accomplishments during their first three years of competition. I am equally proud of the incoming class of 23 recruits, which could prove to be our best class yet. Now I am looking for a few good men, women, boys and girls....to help us achieve our mission of qualifying for NCAA Division I-A football. In order to reach our goal it will take the combined efforts of everyone who truly believes in our vision."
- Coach Howard Schnellenberger, Feb. 5, 2004
"It Takes Everyone to be #1"
As FAU Head Coach, Howard Schnellenberger, says, "We've come a long way in three short years and the mission goal is now in sight." The "mission goal" that the Legendary Coach refers to is threefold: Win the NCAA Division I-A National Championship; Sell-out crowds at every home game; and construction of a new 40,000 seat on-campus Dome Stadium.
With FAU's move to the Sun Belt Conference and Division I-A competition, Coach Schnellenberger's goal for a National Championship is moving on the same track as the one he followed to guide the University of Miami to its first National Championship in 1983. His goal for an on-campus stadium is currently under serious study at the University with a projected completion date of 2007. Finally, plans to reach his goal of sell-out crowds at every home game are now being implemented. However, to achieve this goal will take the combined efforts of a wide variety of people who share the vision of Coach Schnellenberger.
FAU FOOTBALL AMBASSADOR OPPORTUNITY
FAU Football Coach, Howard Schnellenberger, is currently selecting a team of 11 Ambassadors in each of 40 South Florida Communities. FAU Football Ambassadors will be the Official Team Representatives in each Community. Ambassadors are individuals who embody the Owl Spirit and share our excitement about the future of FAU Football. They will play an important role in spreading the vision of Coach Schnellenberger and creating new fans for FAU Football in their respective Communities. All Ambassadors will be eligible to win a trip to a post-season Bowl game of their choice (including the Super Bowl) plus other prizes during the 2004 season. A reception for all Ambassadors to meet Coach Schnellenberger and watch Spring Practice will be held on Saturday, April 3rd.

If you are a young lady at least 18 years of age, who can sing, and who loves to be in the center of the action, volunteering to be a Dream Girl will be a great opportunity for you. You will showcase yourself as part of a talented musical group and as a goodwill ambassador for FAU Football. The Dream Girls main focus is to represent the FAU Owls' Football Team.

MERCHANT TICKET OUTLETS
FAU Football is seeking local business owners in Palm Beach and Broward counties wanting to show their support for the FAU Football program by becoming local FAU Football Ticket Outlets.

Each local business that serves as a FAU Football Ticket Outlet will be featured on 10,000 Football Game Flyers that will be distributed in your City prior to each home game.
