Sadly in the news of CUSA admission today this nugget fell by the wayside.



The FAU athletics department recently received a $500,000 gift from ADT, and in appreciation, a large clock featuring the company’s iconic blue logo has been mounted on the southern exterior of FAU Stadium.

The ADT clock, which showcases the company’s support of its hometown university, was originally installed at Fenway Park (pictured), home of the Boston Red Sox, during the famed ballpark’s 99th anniversary year.

Why does that photo look like a battleship to me? What's with the 1 4 6 8 9 ?

Is it already there? I just walked past the student section on the way to IVA from the rec and I didn't see it. Maybe this was they had planed for tomorrow before the news of us joining CUSA broke out.

No clue.

I asked on our board if it would be up by Saturday's game.

You got a clock?

That's Fenway and the Red Sox retired numbers.

That's Fenway Park. Those numbers were retired by the Red Sox.

I was thinking the same thing... lol ... and it is a ugly clock.

I guess your stadium is in the hood so you need ADT as a sponsor

I'm being as humble as can be, knowing that many of the "older" members aren't too happy with us and the conference right now.

FAU is still FAU. Gotta love 'em. Heck, I'm glad you guys are in CUSA too. Woulda been sad to see our "rivalry" go away. Always love playing you guys. So quirky.
