BOCA RATON — Florida Atlantic director Brian White has his sights set high on Palm Beach County.
White has repeatedly expressed his desire that FAU, the lone Division I program in Palm Beach County, to establish itself as the “hometown team” – and, through his first five months as athletic director, fans have bought in. Season ticket prices are up close to 20 percent and fans, both those from the pre-Howard Schnellenberger days to those who jumped on The Lane Train in recent months, helped pack local Duffy’s for June’s ‘Winning in Paradise’ tour.
FAU has posted several billboards featuring head football coach Lane Kiffin and “Winning in Paradise” tagline around Palm Beach and Broward County.
