joshgozips Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I saw a request for photos of the InfoCision Stadium site as fencing has gone up around part of the construction area. I was on campus on Sunday afternoon for the womens' basketball match-up with Marist and stopped by the site a few minutes before the game. Here is what I can tell you:The fencing borders the Stiles Fieldhouse on the north, Nash Street on the south, Union Street on the west and Spicer on the east.There are four residence halls enclosed by the fencing: Wallaby, Brown, Joey and Wallaroo. There are portions of the fencing where it is open so that vehicles can move in and out.Within the fencing, there are 5-6 18-wheeler trailers stationed.The tanning spa on Exchange is closed and boarded up, along with several residences on Nash.Here are several of the pics that I took. Please let me know if you'd like to see any more of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BZip_08 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks for the pics. I should set up a camera considering I live across the street from the buildsite... oh and I second the comment about missing Brown Street Hall.

ZippyAlum Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I don't get why they board up the houses. I wonder if there are ppl who will strip those houses. I've never been in them but since they're old you'd think that there would be things of value in them: old claw foot tubs, wood balastrades (sorry, I don't know how to spell that), copper piping, plumbing and lighting fixtures, cornices, etc. I hate seeing old materials just ripped apart and sent to the land fill. But of course, if that would slow down progress on the stadium-----bulldoze them!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipsrifle Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I don't get why they board up the houses.So people don't break into the houses to do their illicit buisness or burn them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if they could be saved and somehow made a part of the stadium project.There is a brick program on the stadium page.If they get everything named, they stand to make $15,070,000 just on naming rights, not including the stadium itself, and the field. This thing could be completely paid for through corporate whoring. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheZone Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Good ole Brown St dorm.... a lot of memories from my freshman year and many august camps in that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottditzen Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Do you know if the bricks will be from the street?The reason I ask is that bricks made today are nowhere near as durable as they once were. The ones in the street are nearly indestructible.Just check out North Coast Harbor in Cleveland and the names have already worn off despite being set in the 1990's.

Zip Watcher Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Was this really a "they don't make bricks the way they used to" post??!What are you, 90? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Uakronkid-- If "corporate whoring" means fewer tax dollars put into it, what's wrong with that?There will be ZERO tax dollars put into it whatsoever. What ever isn't being paid by name sponsors or donations will be paid with bonds. I'd rather have a clean stadium that is financed using bonds than one covered with every brand-name imaginable with a sponsor for every drinking fountain and doorknob.

scottditzen Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Ha ha, I'm not too old!!!! UA class of 95. Though I do suffer hip and joint pain from time to time.Seriously, the bricks made today are nowhere near as durable as old ones. That's why the old ones are worthlots of money. Fairport Harbor, a town in financial ruin, actually tore up all their historic brick streets andsold them off to the highest bidder- a town with more money.And if you saw the brick pavers at North Coast Harbor, or even some at jacobs field, you may think twice before spending money on them. Some you can hardly read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
