HuskieMobileMan Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I am heading out to the game on Saturday and I wanted to get some info about Akron. I know the Rubber Bowl is off campus, but where is it in relation to the campus? Also, would you be able to recommend some good sports bars and hotels around the campus? I am looking forward to the game Sat. Hope to see you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplock Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 The Rubber Bowl is about 8-10 miles off campus near George Washington Blvd. and Triplett Blvd. (check mapquest). No hotels worth mentioning near the bowl. Hotels are available just south of Akron on I-77, also downtown on Mill Street, quite close to campus and in the Fairlawn area (just north of Akron on I-77). Some of my Akron brethren may be more up to date on the campus bar scene, but there is BW3 on Exchange St near campus, the Sun Grille and a plethora of bars on South Main St off Exchange near campus (Jillians, Lime Spider, etc.) Enjoy the trip, just not the game! Safe traveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 In addition to downtown, you could stay in west Akron near Summit Mall. There is a Winking Lizard (sports bar) there that can get just about any game you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
