The Northeastern Huskies football program were the intercollegiate American football teams for Northeastern University located in Boston. The team competed in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and were members of CAA Football, the technically separate football arm of what is now the Coastal Athletic Association.^[a] Northeastern participated in football from 1933 to 2009, compiling an all-time record of 289–366–17.^[2] Citing sparse attendance, numerous losing seasons and the expense to renovate Parsons Field (its football stadium in neighboring Brookline) to an acceptable standard, the university Board of Trustees voted on November 20, 2009, to end the football program. According to president Joseph E. Aoun, "Leadership requires that we make these choices. This decision allows us to focus on our existing athletic programs".^[3]
