Buckzip Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 At least it wasn't the ABJ making the mistake. Not that I doubt they would. Quote
Zips Win! Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 Hopefully it was moved to the open Saturday in September...... Quote
Zipmeister Posted July 23, 2014 Report Posted July 23, 2014 Hopefully it was moved to the open Saturday in September......You shouldn't have posted your hopes. Once the authorities learned of them they moved the game back to the originally scheduled date. Quote
LZIp Posted August 2, 2014 Report Posted August 2, 2014 I went to the scrimmage today, and the atmosphere was everything I hope Akron football can be one day. Vine St packed with pre-game activities, the band marching through the crowd, people waiting in line an hour before start. All standing room packed. Top section of the bleachers were only half way full, probably because of so many people standing. But I might cry if an Akron game is ever like that. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted August 2, 2014 Report Posted August 2, 2014 Total attendance was 20,673.We've hit that a few times. Difference is, the excitement level wasn't there for the Zips games because of the recent losing. Same sized crowd, just not as enthusiastic. Quote
Balsy Posted August 2, 2014 Report Posted August 2, 2014 I'm with LZip. I was there as well, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Though I would estimate the top bleachers as closer to 2/3 full. There were certainly a lot of people there. I think this was good exposure for our program. I saw a bunch of people grabbing football schedules and season ticket info...there was actually a line when I went by it. Campus looked beautiful, great exposure for the U as well. 1 Quote
Spin Posted August 3, 2014 Report Posted August 3, 2014 It had to help break the "community college" stigma with a lot of people. 1 Quote
