The logo isn’t centered, and is atop the “50”? Strange…

It's not placed yet.

I think they are just laying everything out for now and nothing is positioned yet. Although, isn't it painted on? 🤔

All logos and wording are sewn in

I hope you're joking. You mean they aren't going to put the Akron wording on the 10 yard line either?

You never know with Akron Marketing…

The yardline numbers aren't straight either, so it can't be a finished product.

What a home field advantage that would be. WR takes it to the house on us for a 65 yard TD, drops the ball in celebration at the Akron name, and we return it for a fumble TD.

I like putting AKRON inside the 10 yard lines. I wouldn't change a thing. It shows JoMo's confidence that we will control the red zone. Brilliant idea.  

[akzipper]

Looks just about done.

 

 

I'm sure we'll get some better shots of the finished field soon.

[LZIp]

Looks great!

[ZippyRulz]

will look even better with a big crowd around it. now on to the basketball court 👍

[AKSportsFan]

Glad they made it a big ass "A". Looks phenomenal.

[GoZips86]

Really digging it! So excited for this coming season!!! 

[Let'sGoZips94]

That's gorgeous.

I think a lot of the people strongly opposed to the new logo will come to love it. It looks awesome on the field and gear I've seen athletes wearing this summer. Nice, clean, modern and professional. 

[zippy5]

My only really petty minor complaint would be that I wish one endzone said "ZIPS"

[bigjim]

Wow!!  It sure looks fantastic.  I cannot wait until the first game and kickoff.  I am so proud to be an Akron Alumnus.  I have learned to love the new logo.  Go Zips!!!

💯 The new A is both modern AND classic. I don’t know how they struck that perfect balance, but they did 🔥💪🔥💪

Anyone want to post some of the pics here for the non-twitter folks?

IF I were to complain about anything, it would be this. LOVE everything I am seeing and the new logo, BUT I agree with this.

[GoZips86]

NOT the finished product, but a different view for everyone.

I had heard once that an stadium owner has to store an old field for legal reasons for a certain number of years regardless of the length of service or size of the material. For example, a stadium like where the cowboys play has to save the end zones they use just for one game for a certain number of years. If Akron has to store the old field, where will it be?
