bobbyake Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I like the idea of making the new stadium a dome that seats around 40,000 to 45,000. This would be great for big events like concerts, pep rallys, and maybe bring Akron a pro sport. Plus, we won't have to freeze at the games. I would enjoy the games a lot more if I didn't have to freeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXZipFan Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Probably wouldn't be a bad recruiting tool either. Having a stadium like that Akron would easily persuade any kid looking at heading to the MAC or even some of the bigger conferences. Have they started working on the stadium yet or is it still in the drawing phase. I heard it was gonna be done by 2008 and that they were gonna break ground in Jan.

zipsfan38 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I have read that a dome stadium would cost upwards of $200 million. Unless Texas Zips Fan is an oil man, I think we will all still be freezing. Hopefully in chair back seats though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyake Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Akron needs to get into talks with Goodyear or Firestone about being a sponser. It's sad that these 2 huge companies don't advertise anywhere at the basketball games. GOJO might be another idea for a sponser. First Energy just got hit with a million dollar penalty so I doubt they're looking to give away money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
