We are approaching 250 signatures and need a push to cross that line this morning. Post this link on your Facebook feed and text three friends who played on Howard's teams. Send an email to your local council representative right now to tell them why this name change matters.

The stories you are posting about Howie's impact on our youth leagues keep me going. Email the City Council today to demand they finally recognize his legacy at Highland Park. Keep the pressure on so they cannot ignore us.

ITS ABOUT TIME. HONESTLY LONG OVERDUE.
My kids played for him years ago. He was the heart of the north end for sure.
Goddard who? Howie is the only name that belongs on that sign.
Howie taught me everything I know about the game. He deserves this big time.
He was always at the field helping the younger guys. Great guy.
Every body new howie. Sounds like a good idea.
Good job John Wayne.

Was reminiscing about Howie tonight, having grown up playing on that field, and found this petition. Fully support - he was a gentle man and great supporter.
