Submit a Video Message for Coach Mazzaferro

BRIDGEWATER Mass. -- On Friday night, September 8th, prior to the Bears' football home opener against WPI, Bridgewater State University will honor legendary football coach Peter Mazzaferro by officially naming the turf field at the Edward C. Swenson Athletic Complex in his honor.

The field turf playing surface at the Swenson Complex, which is home to the football, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, field hockey and women’s lacrosse teams, will be named Peter Mazzaferro Field in recognition of the Bears’ longtime head coach.

If you would like to send Coach Mazz a special video message, we will be airing the messages throughout the live webcast on the Bears Sports Network. Special thanks, in advance, to Jeff Fowler and the crew at BTV for all their hard work in putting the production together.

Those interested in sending Coach Mazz well wishes should send a 15 second video message in MP4 format to Jeff Fowler at jfowler@btvaccess.com. Please include your name and year of graduation (if applicable) in the email. The deadline to submit a video message is Sunday, August 27th. Again, please keep your messages brief.

The naming of the field in honor of Coach Mazzaferro was due to the efforts of Bridgewater State University President Fred Clark and the BSU Board of Trustees.
