Scoreboard constuction pics...http://www.uakron.edu/information/stadium/

Nice! Think that back-lighted UA athletics logo is two-sided? Would be way cool to see it also facing Exchange Street, maybe at the very top of the entire scoreboard?

Ill see if I can sneak into the UA site and snag high-res versions of those photos on that page.

+1 I don't think there will be any lawn seating available this season. Just make it look good for TV.

Agree. Let it get established for a year.Maybe they could paint A K R O N on the grass in big white block letters, kind of in homage to the Rubber Bowl/Fulton Airport.http://www.flickr.com/photos/98131992@N00/3524581902/

Is the scoreboard still going to be framed in brick like the original photos?

You know that is a great idea! I doubt they would fit but it would be cool to take the actual concrete from the RB.

Paint would kill the grass. Lets put it in block letters with concrete. That would give the students something extra easy to slip on. Future phone call....."Hi Mom, I just paid for the rest of my education and living expenses for the rest of my life.........split my head open on the concrete K on the hill behind the south endzone."

Party pooper...I was think cement...And who's to say we will need the grass seating anyway...unfortunately. If they don't need it for students on openning day...they may not need it at all.

Unless they put up a fence, i don't see no way they will keep the students off that hill. security would have to escort them out of the stadium.

That sucks. The scoreboard in the picture looks very classy.

There are going to be two open houses in August to tour the completed stadium I don't know the dates yet, though.

Any idea how to get involved in them? I'd love to do this since I'm living in AK for the summer.Looks like another layer is going on the endzone buildings!

Did they really write an article to say the blimp was flying by?Slow news day I guess.

They are actually updating this page :blink: University Stadium SiteI like the way the back of the scoreboard will look. Advertise all sports.

Wonder if that side will include a message board panel listing upcoming games for all sports?

It would be nice, but maybe too forward thinking There is space at the bottom and top for one though.

[BostonZip]

Some Zip players on the field?

That sucks. The scoreboard in the picture looks very classy.

One thing that I think looks a little goofy is that the support poles for the railing at the edge of the stands run perpendicular to the slope of the stands (rather than perpendicular to the ground as shown in the renderings). I don't recall any other nice venue with this particular look.....Goofy.

Stadium cams appear to be down. Anyone else?Now working.

The entire rail/fence going around the upper grandstands looks rather cheap.
