Eastern Michigan is renaming its football field inside Rynearson Stadium after Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby following his $1 million donation to the athletics department, the university announced on Monday.
Crosby, a former EMU standout, made the donation official on Monday when he made a visit to campus ahead of the Raiders’ game against the Lions on Monday Night Football. The donation, in conjunction with his wife and former EMU soccer player Rachel, will be used to help the university launch phase two of its championship-building plan to benefit the overall growth of the athletic programs.
The two-time Pro Bowler said EMU naming its playing surface after him is the “ultimate honor.”
