The New Haven Public Schools (NHPS) will host a ceremony on Thursday, September 15, 2011 renaming the New Haven Athletic Center in honor of New Haven native, Hillhouse High School standout, Syracuse All-American and Hall of Famer Floyd Little. A highly successful businessman who retired from the car dealership industry is now SU's special assistant to the athletics director.
The newly-christened 105,000 square foot Floyd Little Athletic Center, which opened in 2002, and is billed as the largest scholastic athletic facility in New England and hosts numerous state and New England competitions.
The renamed center features photographs and murals of Little during his playing days as well as a showcase with memorabilia from his career.
The showcase at the field house will include photos of Little, autographed footballs, jerseys and helmets. The Floyd Little Athletic Center will also have a plaque with a quote from Little's Hall of Fame's acceptance speech, “The Choice is Yours, Be the Best You Can Be,” and a “Lifetime Achievements” section.
