CLEVELAND, Ohio – Lou Groza Field, which is home to the Lou Groza Football youth league in Berea, now has a statue of its namesake at the facility. The statue of the Browns legend was unveiled on Saturday, with former Browns Dick Schafrath and Don Cockroft among those in attendance.
Lou Groza Football began in 2010, offering tackle and flag football and cheerleading for boys and girls in Berea, Middleburg Heights and Brook Park.
Groza's career spanned from the Browns' inaugural season in 1946 to 1967, and included eight championships and nine Pro Bowls. He was the NFL's career scoring leader upon his retirement and is one of 16 former Browns in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
