That seems such a shame, especially before they come up with any redevelopment plans! The Heisman Lodge always smelled like mold. I'm sure recent years haven't made it better. Quote
Section210Zip Posted April 25, 2023 Report Posted April 25, 2023 Remembering the Rubber Bowl News 5 piece with interview with Lee Owens. Growing up in the Rubber Bowl was magical. I know it was a hole but it was our hole. 4 Quote

Piece by piece, demolition crews tear down the remnants of the iconic Akron Rubber Bowl. It will be interesting to see what they do with the hillside. 1 Quote
Spin Posted April 30, 2023 Report Posted April 30, 2023 I remember the Zips games there, it seemed like every time I went there they were playing against a Tennessee Something opponent. I went to a couple Cleveland Force games at the Rubber Bowl, when Bart Wolstein owned the team. He was looking into the outdoor leagues (ASL, NASL) but figured out there were in as much trouble as the indoor leagues. Before that there were other exhibition games, at least one with the Jacksonville Teamen. I don't know if they were ASL or NASL at the time. I went with a church youth group, it was my first exposure to the world's game. 1 Quote
Cykron Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 So, did they actually demolish and remove the Rubber Bowl in its entirety? Seems like they have been talking about it forever. Quote
