xu9697 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 & you are going to the UC game, I think you will definitely like Nippert Stadium. It is nestled right in the middle of campus, and they really have done a nice job buidling around the facility (including nearby soccer & baseball fields). It is the type of stadium that I think many of us wish for Akron to build.GO ZIPS! Quote
72 Roo Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I think some of the posters were thinking UC has a stadium that is as rundown as the Rubber Bowl. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's a great place to watch a game. Completely rebuilt/restored and crying for a high quality team to play there. Maybe Dantonio will build one yet. The only sad comment is regarding the attendance. UC plays a schedule better than ours but draws poorly. I for one would love to have a Nippert clone on Exchange Street. Quote
Sergeant Zip Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I think some of the posters were thinking UC has a stadium that is as rundown ... Maybe Dantonio will build one yet.Dantonio my not be there long enough to build one, per vandelaysports.com"This game may be an audition for [JD] at Cincy as Mark Dantonio could be gone after this season. "Could JD be another one to jump ship to UC? Quote
bearcatfan Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 The only sad comment is regarding the attendance. UC plays a schedule better than ours but draws poorly. UC opened with a 1-AA team at home, then played Pitt on a Friday night - which is a big night for high school football in this town - probably yours as well.The Miami game should have drawn better as it is a big rivalry.Let's hope for a good crowd this weekend. The Bengals have a bye week (their resurgence has no doubt cost UC some attendance $), the weather will be perfect, and there is a lot going on at UC. Plus UC won last week and that usually gets a few more of the non-hardcore fans to come out of curiosity.If this game were being played in the evening there would be over 25000 - my guess is around 23500 for this one. I hope it's more. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 "This game may be an audition for [JD] at Cincy as Mark Dantonio could be gone after this season. "Could JD be another one to jump ship to UC? Two words: Vandelay sports.Has as much credibility as Elton Alexander, circa 2005, speculating JD would become Colorado's next coach because...well....JD is from Colorado. Quote
