I think they did a great job given this project just started in late Jan 2008. If, they'd had a two full years like the construction company had to build Minnesota new stadium. I'm sure the 2% would be done as well as further along on floors 2 through 4 in the press tower that won't be completed until next year.I'm looking forward to all the people who claimed the project was not behind schedule and would be 100% done by this Saturday afternoon telling me how wrong I was. Think it will be done in 42 days?I think they could be if they keep full crews working. Its a shame more expensive late completion penalties weren't in the contract. This could have been very profitable for the University.

Decent crowd but a surprising number of empty seats watching the Rockets go up by 20 at the half. Wonder if there would be any empty seats at the Info if we could get a Big 12 team to show up.

Yes, in fact when those PSU folks decide to set a new attendance record all they do is go out and hire additional parking staff. Hey Zach, you should update the Ukid user name on the espn web site.

The University of Akron Zips vs Morgan State Bears
Zipmeister replied to RowdyZip's topic in Akron Zips Football
Do you get the feeling that went right over most of the Nation's heads?I remember Morganna as a kid running out and kissing that guy. Don't reember whoe the player was though.Well put some pine tar on your brain and think. -
YES. I hear they are switching to beach style complete with skimpy two piece suits. Should be a packed house.

Penn State vs. Syracuse -- predictions
Zipmeister replied to PSU_Lions_84's topic in Akron Zips Football
I have to go with the Cuse by 14. Turns out several PSU fans are avoiding the pay to participate Penn State fan internet sites and frequenting other schools free sites. The trickle down effect of this behavior comes home to roost this weekend in the form of a mild upset. -
I'm glad that uakronkid is gone as well. That new Zach the Zip guy seems pretty good, though. I can't believe how much he has posted being on here just a short time.A little over 16 hours to go!I hope your post didn't hurt Zach's er I mean the Ukid's feelings.

Most people will not even notice all the nonacademic features of the Info that are incomplete as of Saturday. Should have them all virtually complete within 6 weeks.

Rumor has it you may get your wish.

It should be even better in our 25,000 seat stadium.
-
If you haven't seen the stadium lite up at night...it is right now. Plus, by now you must have noticed them testing an electronic flowing American flag on the scoreboard.
-
Nice pics. It must have been encouraging to our guys to see most of the PSU crowd dressed in colors to match the Zips away uniforms.

What they should do in the near future is do a test run on the stadium. Meaning, have enough people in the stadium to flush all the toilets and run all of the water at the same time to make certain those systems work properly at high volume. Leaking pipes or no water would spell disaster for the first game. In fact, if there is no running water, a building can not open to the public. Have a practice game during two-a-day practices where they can run the clock and make certain all of that works. A meeting the week before the first game with the ushers would be enough. One thing I really would like to see is professional vendors at the new stadium. Volunteers for local little leagues are always too slow and the crowds will be too big for that. Hire a professional company to staff the food counters.Test the lights at night to make certain they shine where they are supposed to shine. At Jacobs Field, each light is computerized and is assigned a certain spot on the field. They test this each year with sensors prior to each season as they change each bulb before the season starts so they have white light in lieu of pink light from old bulbs.And for crying out loud, can we please make certain the refs field mic works properly and has enough volume.Yes, I'm certain they haven't thought to do any of those things. Who is this "uakronkid" referenced by the original quote?Ask Zach.

Looking forward to it. The site does not make it clear at what times the shuttle service will be available from the Rubber Bowl. Anyway I plan on parking there to avoid the crowd. Looking forward to really spreading out my tailgate party. Stop by for a cold one.

The University of Akron Zips vs Morgan State Bears
Zipmeister replied to RowdyZip's topic in Akron Zips Football
It does bear a striking resemblance to Morgan or for those of us who knew her before she went all Hollywood, Patsy McKinney (I guess that would wreak the Morgan State connection). -

It was the Capt., not me, who posted the pic. Apparently we are the only two guys who know who they er I mean she was. Morganna went into retirement at the end of 1999 and now lives in Columbus, Ohio. She no longer grants interviews or does appearances. Since she was in her prime in the 1970's, as Martha would say, that's a good thing. -

I'm thinking Morgan State plays the best game they have in years. Akron by 14. Lets fill all 25,000 seats. -
Are you ready for some football?!?!?!
Zipmeister replied to HOLLYWOODZIPPY's topic in Akron Zips Football
Nope, not decals, all 100% hand painted!Neat. The wood grain looks so natural. -
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm pretty sure the multiple late night crank calls I made to each of them helped stoke the fire. I never get tired of that "Is your refrigerator running?" gag.

Interesting comment. I was under the impression that most folks were impressed with the structure.
