Eastern Michigan names their stadium Crosby Field in honor of Raiders star Maxx Crosby

Maxx Crosby is the best football player to ever play at Eastern Michigan, and while he is still in the NFL dominating, he still loves his alma mater. According to reports, Maxx and his wife donated 1 million dollars to the school where he played from 2015 to 2018, and his wife Rachel was an Eastern Michigan soccer player at the same time.

The school named the stadium Crosby Field and unveiled the new photos!

“Maxx is somebody who wants to leave a legacy here and wants to give back to our student-athletes,” Eastern Michigan Athletic Director Scott Wetherbee said. “Maxx cares about Eastern. He wears it on his sleeve; he literally wears it on his arm and cares about this place. He told me he wanted an opportunity to do something, and we talked about this field. He stepped up and there were more willing people in line to give and they followed him. I want to say thank you to Rachel and Maxx for stepping up with this lead gift and getting these projects off the ground. I am forever grateful to Maxx and Rachel for making this happen and I could not be happier that we named this field after them.”

Crosby not heavily recruited out of high school gives the school a ton of credit in his journey. Here is his statement;

“I wanted to be a Division I football player and I didn’t care where it was. I needed to be a part of something that was bigger than just myself and gave me a chance to build something special, and I found that here at Eastern,” Crosby said. “Every day, I wake up and I know I can be a better version of myself than the day before and that’s why I’ve gotten to this spot in my life because I never give up. I’m obsessed with being perfect, even though I never will get there, and I wouldn’t be able to do it without this army around me. I have the best people in the world that support me every single day. I just want to say I love everyone, thank you guys for showing up and Coach Creighton, without you giving me a chance, none of this would have been possible, so I appreciate it.”

You have to love to see it. This has to be one of the coolest stories in football right now. It does not matter where you play, it matters the outcome.
