I figured the U. would give the Rubber Bowl site back to the city since the city gave it to UA back in the day for next to nothing...I mean, wouldn't that be the decent thing to do?I don't think noisy auto racing would work out with all the residences to the north and east. Recreational/ballfields/soccer, etc. would be better IMO.

They've been living with Chasers II haven't they?

So does this mean we can't rip out the bleachers over the next 2 seasons? Seriously though, what else could be done with the place other than tear it down? If we had to put $500,000 a year into it to keep it up, what else can it be used for? Just tear it down and be done with it. Even sell parts of it to fans like me so we can have a piece of Akron History.

The Rubber Bowl can't be completely torn down without compromising the structural integrity of the hill it was built into. In fact, the reason it was built is to hiold up the hill for the Derby Downs. The road above the stadium would collapse, the Derby Downs would be destroyed, and a whole mess of problems would be created. It is a serious problem. It would take the combined might of all the Engineering students and professors to figure out how to bring it down safely without anything else coming down with it.
