I didn't see the CBJ today, did it have OSU all over the front and Akron somewhere hidden again??

he missed a 26 yard field goal or something like that? He can't even kick the ball straight. Is that kicker on scholarship?????????????? I hope not

I had a great time in the student section. It sucks that the next home game is 4 months away. I don't know if the student section was packed all the way up or not because it was sitting in like the 3rd or 4th row in the front, but we had a great time. I'm going to try and get a bunch of students together to tailgate for the Can't game, students and alumni are welcome to join us.

The Can't game is probably going to be a sell out.

we had a lot of students it seemed at the game, where was all the Alumni at??? the home side of the field looked empty. The bleachers were breaking easy. i don't think people were trying to break them, but we tried pulling out a peace that fell through so that no one would stand on it and fall through. We didn't want to see anyone get hurt. The beach ball was fun. My friend actually ended up with it so we're going to bring it to the Can't game. The question is, how are the Akron students going to be seated for the Can't game and how much are our tickets going to be?????????????

it was a great time

can't sucks, who's tailgaiting with us next week???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? lets get wasted together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how many extra points did we miss??? and field goals???? I've seen high school teams with better kickers. They should take away that kids scholoarship!!!! seriously,,,,, he sucks!!!!!!!!!!11

we'll be tailgaiting, come with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

i'm reminded of Central Michigan's stadium from the picture in the ABJ

Anthrax Scare At Can't State,Can't State football practice was delayed nearly two hourstoday after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substanceon the practice field. Head Coach Dean Pees immediately suspendedpractice while police and federal investigators were called toinvestigate.After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that thewhite substance unknown to the players was the goal line.Practice was resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikelyto encounter the substance again.

i'm going to have a bad hangover for tomorrow but drinking again might make it go away

The Rubber Bowl is off campus and in BFE.That's why i'm saying you can't use the Rubber Bowl as an example. An on campus stadium in downtown Akron is a whole new ball game.

It's ignorant to go with Akron's present and past attendances to derive your conclusion. That's like comparing the Indians old stadium to Jacobs Field.

Debate away here and vote for what you think Akron's new stadium capacity should be.

UCF is also in Orlando, didn't disney donate money for the project? But that means little, Akron has Goodyear, First Energy, and a couple big Cleveland companies like Myers (AkroMills in Akron), National City, etc... I really like UCF's idea. To be honest with you, I'd rather have an exact copy of the rubber bowl build in downtown Akron instead of one of those 2 sided (high school) stadiums. A bowl looks a lot better. I don't want to see another DIX stadium.

I hope it's nothing like that sketch i saw in the ABJ. It looks like a jumbo high school stadium. After Canal Park, I figured we would get something that makes the community proud of. 25,000 is just way too small, if they're going to spend 112million, they better figure out how they can get at least 35,000 in there. With the stadium being ON CAMPUS, and in DOWNTOWN, you have to expect attedance will go up. If they plan on winning in the future, why make it 25,000?? Some people feel 25,000 is sufficient, that's because your thinking about the present and the past Rubber Bowl experiences. This is going to be nothing similar to the Rubber Bowl, it's on campus and in downtown Akron. I'm willing to bet that every game will sell out at 30,000 or more for the first year. Think about 2 to 10 years from now. 25,000 expandable to 30,000 is limiting yourself. Your putting a CAP on your growth. This is division 1 college football, there's a lot of room for growth.

25,000 is a joke if your trying to build a winning tradition. That's like saying, "we'll have a couple good seasons, and then we'll be an average school so we don't have to worry about growth in 5 years." If Akron wins the MAC this year, next year, and the following, 25,000 is going to be too small and then your going to be in a situation where you have to spend more money to expand. More money than you would have to spend if you just built it to at lest 35,000 to start out with... They should be thinking 35,000 unless they don't have Akron winning and it's growth on the agenda.

it didn't look bad for today's game against Indiana

Most of those properties are in horrible condtion. Party houses. So they won't get much if they don't take UA's offer.

for the ones holding out, they would just use eminent domain. Maybe they were waiting to use that card.

This is the same company that built that school in Columbus's stadium. This is good news. Possibly good news for the hockey club. I know they use the football stadium at OSU for hockey.I'm impressed with this company.

I am, but it's the attitude some people have towards the University of Akron in this community that I don't like at all. Should it be acceptable that the local newspaper covers that school in Columbus more than their own Zips???I understand she's just doing her job. I guess my beef's not with her, it's with the ABJ. I still feel my email was necessary. I was just pointing out that I don't think it could have been Marla that sgm saw and why.This is great news about the stadium. I'm looking forward to hearing it.

I understand Mike, I just don't agree with it at all. Here is the email I sent her.
