  1. The total project IIRC is around $120 million, making the dorms around $75 million. I thought I heard soemthing about them looking for funding for that part of the project, so I think you are correct that that part will not be ready in '09 when the stadium opens. That also allows more time for the aquisition of the remaining parcels as it seems they only affect the dorms and not the stadium.

  2. wear your Zips gear year-round... get Zips license plates (helps with scholarships and is tax deductable)... put Zips stickers in your car windows... hang Zips posters/schedules/etc. on your office/cubicle walls... fly a Zips flag at your house... there's tons of ideas we all can do to help with brand awareness.

  3. BALAAM ZIP HOPEFUL:Al-Teric Balaam heads into Akron's preseason football camp looking for major playing time as a middle linebacker.Balaam, a 6-1, 225-pound sophomore from New Brunswick, made his collegiate debut last year and left quite a calling card. The former Zebra saw action in 11 of the Zips' 12 games and posted 10 tackles.However, Balaam is regarded as a talented athlete who the Akron staff will use to add depth at linebacker. He enters the preseason camp as a versatile performer who could play any of the Zips' linebacker positions.Balaam was a redshirt as a freshman after earning honors as a two-way performer for New Brunswick in his senior season.Balaam and the Zips host Army in the season debut Sept. 1 in Cleveland with the accent on rebuilding the defense. The Zips won the Mid-America Ccnference in 2005 but slipped to 5-7 overall and 3-5 in the conference last season. Balaam could be in the right place at the right time in terms of getting more playing time and establishing himself as a key figure for the future.source

  4. the new basketball arena southwest across Exchange from the new Football Stadium.
    works for me. visible and accessible from Exchange & Rte 8, and in the same area as the rest of the sporting venues. makes it easier for the person who is unfamiliar... all in the same area.
