It’s (past) time to rename JFK Stadium

It has been almost 18 months since the Hoboken Board of Education passed a resolution to honor Louis M. Taglieri, Jr. Whatever the reasons, his family and the community deserve to know when or if a dedication ceremony is to take place to honor him. 

The family has set up a page to petition for the renaming to be done as soon as possible. I agree and stand with the Taglieri family in their request.
On August 24, 2020 the Hoboken Board of Education passed a vote to rename the current home of the Redwings (JFK Stadium) to be renamed “Louis M. Taglieri Jr. stadium and veterans field. This was then put on hold while the city voted on a referendum to build a new school. Now that it was voted down, on behalf of myself, (his sister Mariann) and his two eldest children, Shayne and Taylar Taglieri, we implore you to sign this petition to have the field FINALLY renamed to honor an amazing man who was bestowed this honor 18 months ago!!
