Mack has been busy hiring...Akron News Now link

AkronNewsNow linkSounds like a good catch!

aaahhh... those were the days!

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.

no clue. I'm guessing it's more likely a tax thing for his estate.

It was Mr. Taylor's own money, so I assume he holds the naming rights, not his company.

I heard that they gave their own money (over a 20 yr period possibly) and told them to use the Infocision name. I also heard they wanted the amount to be kept secret.

I just got thru... tried earlier and nothing happened.Looks like they are just walking around, but I hear LP in what sounds like a meeting.

I saw that... so, if Manny's so upset, wants to stay, and will change things to fit in, why isn't he talking to the U and the condo/retail developers? He stands to gain a lot more if he does.

or will the ABJ spin it to "those poor souls who are going to have to move"?

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.

I remember hearing they got a good deal on bond rates when they announced the Landscape for Learning.

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

check out the "residential" section... there are two project links for Spicer Village. One shows some of the UA property (athletic fields) and some ideas for integrating the new developments into the area, as well as some concept renderings for the buildings (far from final, I'm sure).Spicer Village architect

higher than a B-10 team and rising... I like it.

I think the whole area is about to get really busy with construction...Spicertown projectmore on it from the developer...ASW Spicer Village LLC

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.the new basketball arena southwest across Exchange from the new Football Stadium. -
with all the athletic bdgs in one area, I think they could build the new BB arena in the parking lot next to the JAR, then level the JAR to replace the parking.

I heard it will be $100/seat.My guess then is that the club seats, loges, and suites will be hefty and there will a donation like basketball for some of the better seats.

Indiana has to win
