zippy5 Posted June 27, 2022 Report Posted June 27, 2022 Just throw it on top of the rubber bowl turf. Apparently that was a good enough storage spot if what you say is true Quote

Ever since Boise decided to go blue, dozens of schools have followed in their footsteps just to draw attention. I've seen purple, gray, red, teal, orange etc. It's an eyesore and brutal during games. Props to UA for doing it right and keeping the field traditional. 4 Quote

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? The company that ripped it up, rolled it, then loaded it onto trucks, I'm pretty sure they then disposed it. It makes 0 sense to keep an old, out of date carpet. Quote

72 Roo Posted July 2, 2022 Report Posted July 2, 2022 Well done to all the people who had a hand in this project. What an incredible sight! I am excited to see the team JoMo will put in the Info. I have faith he will give us something to be proud of and I also believe the crowds will come. Quote

GP1 Posted July 11, 2022 Report Posted July 11, 2022 I was in Akron a couple of weeks ago and went by the stadium. There were giant bags full of sand in the corner of one of the parking lots. Did they have a "Giant Bags Full Of Sand Cam"? Quote
LZIp Posted July 11, 2022 Report Posted July 11, 2022 Am I the only one who notices a different shade of green at the 21 yd line towards exhange street? Hopefully not permanent.. Quote

Sorry I couldn't have been of more help. As I look at the various photos of the new field, the green in all but one seems to have various shades located in different places. Probably due to lighting. Only way to tell for sure is to show up to a bunch of games and see what it looks like in person. 1 Quote

If the Zips show signs of improvement, there's no more excuses to not show up. 1 Quote
