I wonder if this will have any impact on the building of the stadium since the owl reserve was the original issue brought up to oppose the stadium.
What the #!@% Seriously, what is the likelihood of a movie about Burrowing Owls??

Now we all know that some of these bored grandma's/grandpas from Boca will let some little science-fair- headline-grabbing pocket-protector grandchild, have them all out in front a of a bulldozer, blocking construction. :D

I had already heard that the Boca campus was awfully cramped as far as available space is concerned.

FAU is home to a protected burrowing owl population. At the initial stages of stadium development there was a great deal of conflict over using part of the protected area for stadium construction. FAU doesn't have a lot of room for building which does make growth difficult. GO OWLS!!!
That is very interesting, and how ironic. I didn't realize that this movie was even supposed to be based in Florida, but it is.
From the movie website:
"'Hoot' revolves around a Montana boy who moves to Florida and unearths a disturbing threat to a local population of endangered owls.'
But apparently the kids in this film are out to stop construction of a pancake store, not a college football stadium, but it's weird just the same.
Oh, man. Here's more from the movie's site about the owls in your area:
"Coincidentally, the world's largest population [of burrowing owls] resides in Cape Coral, Florida (near Fort Myers), where an estimated 2,000 pair of birds are protected and preserved by the non-profit organization Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife, a volunteer organization dedicated to 'preserving and enhancing the habitat of protected wildlife species and educating the community about its natural resources.'

Seriously, those issues have been addressed and hopefully resolved. But I can still see someone just getting wind of the nesting owls and wanting to get involved.
