ELIZABETH, N.J. — The housing projects Todd Bowles once called home no longer stand. But his legacy will live on in his hometown for years to come.
On Saturday, the city of Elizabeth, New Jersey honored the Jets coach by renaming one of its fields the “Todd Bowles Waterfront Sports Complex.”
“To come here and see how this place has grown, it’s very humbling,” Bowles said after the near hour-long dedication ceremony.
“Usually when you get something named after you, you’re close to the end. Hopefully that doesn’t mean I’m retiring or getting ready to croak,” he said, smiling.
