Captain Kangaroo Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Big pic size. But to reduce it would be a crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bUAkronG Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 that certainly is a pretty beautiful pic!If I'm looking at it correctly I believe this was moments before Bowser's first TD reception?If I didn't have one of my own photographs as my BG, this would be my new one.

RowdyZip Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 This is fantastic...I was wondering, did the University happen to commission someone to do a full panoramic at field level? That would be ideal to put on a wall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmd9 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 That is sweet. Very nice.very awesome picture vmd9!by the way, what font are you using?It's the custom akron font. You can try to get it from the athletics dept but most likely they won't let you have it (Many people have tried). Something about licenses, I don't even have the actual font anywhere, I had to get the letters from a logo sheet I got somewhere...it was a real PAIN but I think it turned out awesome! The closest font I have found is called "Impact" it's similar if you make it italic, but it doesn't have the sharp edges (if that makes sense).I was thinking about making a thread or a gallery that has all the Zips backgrounds and stuff I've made...would people be interested?and if I started a thread which section should I put it in?

So I'm not sure.The crowd looks too large for it to be the third quarter but I know for sure students were on the grass then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure others would have things to post as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDZip Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 The most beautiful thing I ever saw was in the film "American Beauty" and it wasn't that stupid wind twirled plastic bag at the end. This is a close second though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckzip Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 What's going on with the building around the stadium? I thought they were supposed to run the corner and go around the open end of the stadium. Does anyone have any update on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any update on that?It will take 1 - 2 years to complete due to $$.Will it be like on the pictures of the project?It should be...but I think it all revolves around the available cash. I found out about it when I asked about the longevity of Lot #9. I was essentially told it will probablyexist next season...MAYBE the 2011 season too. After that, it is expected that the dorm project will be complete. Might there still be game-day parking there even after the dorms are complete? I hear it is a possibility, but I don't know any details.My gut feeling is, with enrollment continuing to increase, the dorms will happen more sooner than later. They're needed.

tbozeglav Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 The university sent out this email yesterday for students to take a survey on student housing. Looks like thy are trying go find out how many students want to live on campus and what kind of dorm environment they want. I get the feeling that the second dorm that will go on the southeast corner of the stadium will be built very very soon. It stinks because that lot there is a very good spot for those diehard tailgaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyTuba11 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 If we can keep the stadium at or near capacity for the next two years, the $$ should start rolling in nicely to go with the increase of students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
