The street level entrances for the building. One will house an elevator and stairs (west side) and the other just stairs.

So instead of being in pain, Bain just might be bringing the pain? Hopefully he doesn't go to GNC again and he proves that his transfer here was not in vain.

I am inclined to believe your little birdie. My friend from space kind of led me to believe the same thing.

Ah yay, more "we can't" talk. Hell why even bother. Just send 11 scrubs and a grad assistant to collect our check.Pfft. there is always a chance, and I would rather think about the chances and hope that our team plays thinking they can win (less injuries when you play to win then when you just show up and don't try)

Also looks like they are working on the scoreboard/jumbotron foundation.

Pretty lame looking.

Because it's more fun than working.

You think this billboard battle was a snoozer. What about the turf tiff?

I was hoping we would go with gold grass and blue lettering, but then that would look too much like my yard in the summer (minus the blue lettering)

Nice to see we will be going with the alternating greens. It looks way better than just one solid carpet of green.

Actually that is kind of a misquote. The 10,000 spaces, has always been 10,000 spaces on campus. They aren'te even including city lots. Parking ServicesIt does include certain church lots though.

They way some of these people are, the banner should read..."Zips...Where apathy happens."

That links not working^^In case you were curious, I saw a post on another forum and the guy claims it's just a funding issue:http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=8063.newThere's the link^^That would really help our ranking if that building ever panned out!Edit: That guy is you! hm, well, I suppose this isn't news, then...*facepalm*The link doesn't work because of the fl a sh to Flush issue.there are some pretty good views in this shot, and shows that the IGB would go in the spot of the dinky uninspired Cunningham? Builing across from the Law School. The bridge spanning the tracks would be replaced as well.

After some digging I found this. Apparently the design and presentation won an award.http://www.architechnology.com/flush/indexflush.swf

I've been keeping an eye and ear open but haven't seen anything. Last I read the University doesn't officially own it. So what is really taking so long?

We lost a 1/4 scholarship for men's track? What the hell was that for? Damn man trying to keep us down, that's what it is.

EXACTLY! Thank you!I sure hope the athletic department is reading this. Every one of those ideas are awesome.Thanks, that particular one would require state money to make the bridges grand entrances, but it only makes sense for the University, City and State. Redo the facade of the bridges into the red brick as seen all over campus, and have a steel and glass covering with the University seal in the middle panel and the Athletic departments A-Roo on each side. Give the school the ability to change out two panels on each bridge for top student athlete recognition or to promote an upcoming game etc.

1. City and county support of the team. It would go a long way if the city made some gesture along the lines of "Akron declares the Zips the official D-1 collegiate program of Akron." Yes it's tacky but it proves the point that the community supports the school. 2. Make the Carrol St. and Buchtel St. bridges official gateways to the campus. A bit like the North Canton/Stark County Hall of Fame Bridge.3. Our own media outlets (Z 88) to actually carry the play by play on game day. I'm sorry it's a saturday and you are the University's station, carry coverage of the athletic events.4. Invite Jason Taylor and other successful players back as "honorary captains". Let them know we respect the fact that they helped get us to this point.5. Change the light pole banners on Exchange St from the current faded yellow and blue to more appropriate athletic's banners. 6. Game day signage and banners all across campus. Especially after the 3 weeks of away games. Don't let people forget.7. 6 commercials that air the night before each home game on ABC, CBS, FOX, & NBC during the evening news (prime time local spots are way to expensive).

They basically shut down Main St for Aeros games (8000 fans). I think it would rather easy to divert traffic around an Exchange St closure.Second the stadium is designed for expansion to 45k. The only way that becomes necessary is if we A: sell out B: win C: get out of the MAC. But for the record Nippert Stadium was just expanded to 35k in the last 5 years. Papa Johns was constructed at 42k. Rentschler was constructed at 40k.

Yes because the athletics site has alway been the epitome of excellence and perfection. "the following week April 19th" come on really?

Politics on our board should probably be limited to "I hate them dern hippies" or "Mexicans took our jerbs!!!"Because how many of you went to public school and or state funded universities (socialism).

I would say because Ohio high schools have no spring practices at all. They also only have about 18 days of pads before the regular season starts.
