EWU Football - Page 25 EWU Football - Page 26 With Red Turf Comes Name Change to “Roos Field”

ust 10 years removed from their experience as students as Eastern Washington University, Michael Roos and his wife Katherine have already established a generous legacy of giving back to their alma mater. The check- Jlist of philanthropic giving, both individually and through the Michael Roos Foundation, is impressive: • $500,000 pledge toward the Red Turf project at EWU’s Woodward Field, which was renamed Roos Field at a dedication on Sept. 16, 2010. • Established the Michael Roos Foundation Dinner, Sports Auction and Poker Tourna- ment at Northern Quest Casino on March 10, 2007. The second-annual event took place on March 1, 2008. • In 2009 and 2010, the Michael Roos Foundation partnered with EWU’s Orland Killin Dinner, Dance and Auction. • Each June from 2010-2014, has hosted the Michael Roos Foundation Fish & Chip Tournament in the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, area. The event features NFL players, EWU supporters and several corporate sponsors for two days of competition featuring golf and bass fishing, as well as a special autograph signing event, lake cruise and youth clinic. • During its short existence, the Michael Roos Foundation has benefited Eastern Athletics, Special Olympics in Washington and Boys and Girls Clubs of Spokane County. • In addition, the Roos family has donated not just one, but two sets of uniforms to the Eastern Football program. As a tribute to their giving legacy, Eastern re-named Woodward Field to “Roos Field” at a dedication ceremony Sept. 16, 2010, two days prior to the first game played on the new red turf against Montana on Sept. 18. In making the approval of the name change, the Eastern Board of Trustees commended the Roos family’s philanthropic efforts on behalf of Eastern and the community through the Michael Roos Foundation. “We are thrilled to be able to acknowledge in this manner the incredible contri- butions Michael and Katherine have made to Eastern Washington University,” said Eastern athletic director Bill Chaves. “We felt this was the most appropriate honor we could give them.” In addition, Eastern honored Roos by retiring his jersey at EWU’s Starting Streak Stopped at 226 Homecoming game on Since Michael Roos became an offensive lineman Oct. 24, 2009, versus as a sophomore at Eastern Washington University in Montana State. 2002, he started every football game he has played “Having my jersey retired is obviously a huge thrill for me,” said Roos. “It’s something you never from 2002-14 as a collegian or professional.

Eastern finished a perfect 8-0 in its debut season at “The Inferno,” including three playoff victories, and is 31-4 overall since the turf was installed. Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Michael Roos and his wife Katherine kick-started the Red Turf Project with a $500,000 contribution as part of their on-going legacy of giving to Eastern. As a result, the field was renamed in their honor at a dedication ceremony on Sept. 16, 2010. Two days later, 18th-ranked Eastern defeated sixth-ranked Montana 36-27 in the first game on the red Sprinturf field on Sept. 18, 2010. The nickname “The Infermo” was an- nounced on the SWX television special “Rolling Out the Red Turf” the night before the Montana game. The other options in the fan voting for the nickname were Red Sea, Red Zone, Big Red, Red Carpet, Ring of Fire and Lava Pit. For the previous 78 years, the stadium was named Woodward Field in honor of former Eastern head foot­ball and basketball coach Arthur C. Wood­ward. The “New” Wood­ward Field has been used by the Eagles since 1967, but prior to that, Wood­ward Field was located near where Easte­rn’s JFK Library now sits and prior to that at another location on campus. Woodward was head of Eastern’s department of physical education and health for 23 years from 1927 to 1950. He was Roos Field Top Crowds insistent that every interested student should have the opportunity to engage in competitive sports through intramural activities.

Ten have been drafted by the NFL and five drafted by the CFL to go along with four NFL draftees between 1965-74. Eastern has also enjoyed a recent influx of players into the Arena Football League (AFL) and arenafootball2 (af2), as well as in the United Football League (UFL) and Indoor Football League (IFL).
