About Sonny Lubick
- Louis Matthew "Sonny" Lubick (born March 12, 1937) is a retired American football coach.
- He was the 15th head football coach at Colorado State University from 1993 to 2007.
- Lubick won or shared six Western Athletic Conference or Mountain West Conference titles, guided the program to nine bowl games and was named National Coach of the Year by Sports Illustrated in 1994. Lubick's success has made him the most recognizable figure in the CSU and Fort Collins community, so much so that when Pat Stryker, head of the Bohemian Foundation, decided to donate $15.2 million toward extensive renovations of Hughes Stadium, she did so with the stipulation that the playing surface be named after Lubick.
- The stadium was then known as Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium until its closure after the 2016 season.
- As a result of the donation, CSU added 4,400 new seats and a video scoreboard in 2004, a new press box and suites in 2005, and a new FieldTurf surface in 2006.
- In 2016, the university announced that the playing surface at its new football stadium, which opened in 2017 as Colorado State Stadium and is now known as Canvas Stadium, would also be known as "Sonny Lubick Field", following an anonymous $20 million donation for that specific purpose.
