Gate #6 by chance?

Well, I'm off to the auction! Wish me luck. Lol. Just going to take pictures really.

The original founder of the USFL was caught for embezzlement, and the new board has no interest in coming to Akron because they want to control stadium, revenue, housing, etc. So for some reason the group that wants to refurbish the stadium is holding an auction for this junk. I think they want their money back and will do nothing afterwards.

Are you freaking kidding me???? They are trying to sell this crap????? I have been through the bowl and it is all junk!

This team lost 3 MAC games, and still won the MAC Championship Man, What a nice looking stadium they must have played in back in 2005!

I have a bad feeling this is a blowout win for BG. I really really hope I am wrong!

No way those type of lights would be allowed so close to the airport. I must say the restaurant looked cool! I also liked the "loge" in front of the old pressbox! It is fun to dream isn't it?

And naturally I go to sign in and time warner doesn't recognize the username and password and after 25 min on the phone and getting transferred I hung up so frustrated. Just give me the damn password!

My TV Guide App tells me Zips Football with Terry Bowden is airing at 730-8:00pm Monday Sept. 2 on STO. It will be re-aired at 1030 pm then Tuesday Night 11:30-1200amFri Sept. 6th 2:30-3:00 pm. I have week two airing Mon. Sept. 9 at 10:30pm (I am assuming because of the Tribe game?)

Sadly yes! Ipad makes it real nice!

I got mine a good two or three weeks ago. You might want to call Monday and ask about them.

Zips Live returns this year. (Monday night AFTER Aeros game. Then normally on Thursday nights.) Any word on a TV show with Coach Bowden?

With the weight loss, grey hair and those dark glasses anyone thinking Coach is looking like Barry Weiss from Storage Wars?? Anyways, any word on the winner of the punting competition?

I seem to remember the Zips having a Heisman candidate once upon a time. That didn't turn out so well...maybe we will see that again!

I'm all for it! I love the match-ups! I don't love OSU but I also don't hate them. I never understood why all the hate. When I used to sit near Barb Hlivko at the Bowl, she used to really voice her hate for OSU. I never had a chance to ask her.

Can someone PLEASE tell these guys to just stop already. Bigtime pro wrestling isnt going to come to the Rubber Bowl. Big concert acts....please. There is no promoter who is going to take a chance on a building that hasn't hosted a concert since 2001. Heck the Zips couldn't draw 15,000 how is a (low) minor league team gonna draw anyone? A restaurant overlooking the field???? WHaaaaaat?!!!!

Yes, the Zips $75 seats are in the corner of the end zone. An Akron official showed me a map of the seating today. Is this down close to the field? I wish I had known that there were going to be cheap seats. I looked on Stubhub and ebay back in june, but what was there was expensive. Oh well, its ONLY $75 bucks!

I have been to all three OSU/ Zip games and I was sitting in this approximate spot all three times. I don't remember much other than: 1. It was 100 degrees at all three 2. We had a 400 pound plus guy in our row which made the tight bleacher seating even tighter at the 3-2 halftime game. 3. Seatbacks are not allowed unless you are a season ticket holder and "buy" them

What should be more importantly noticed is the availability of Michigan tickets priced from 35- 50 bucks when I had to pay 75 for mine! Darn it!

So you're saying there's a chance?

I was wondering why Jaime Cuadra was let go as President. Very interesting!

I guess I remember DB1 a little differently... Dont get me wrong, I liked DB1 He did have some good catches and i see the Can't grab is first on the montage, but I remember he had a ton of drops as well. Enough that a casual fan friend that I took one time mentioned it and it stuck with me the rest of his short career.

You mean the same Bowser that couldn't catch a cold? Although he did have a big catch in a Can't win on the road if I recall!?!

Does anyone remember the last year of the Rubber Bowl the on field mic crew started chants and said they wanted to carry them over into the Info. Z-I-P-S... never did it at the new places.. Personally I liked Z- I- P- S, Zips, Zips, Zips!

Fleming... again? No way he makes it past Summer camp healthy. He hasn't in his last 8 years why believe he will this year? I hope he does, but Ive seen this movie far to many times!
