BOCA RATON, FL - Florida Atlantic University's football team will host its annual FanFest on Saturday, August 20 at 2 p.m.
The Owls will hold their last scheduled preseason scrimmage of the 2011 season and will be joined by the cheer and dance teams as well as Owlsley, the team's mascot. The football team also will sign autographs following the scrimmage.
Fanfest, which is free and open to the public, will be the last opportunity for local fans to watch the Owls play live until Saturday, October 15 when FAU opens its on-campus stadium versus Western Kentucky University.
The on-campus stadium is the centerpiece of FAU's Innovation Village, located in the north central area of campus. A $70-million project, it is slated to feature 6,000 premium seats, including 24 suites, 26 loge boxes, 1,000 premier club seats and 4,000 priority club seats, and the latest, state-of-the art amenities.
