Good for them. I hope Judge Spicer reduces this outlandish award. This jury seriously erred if they based their decision on property values on Main St on deciding what those dives are worth nearby UofA towards RT 8 in the other direction.

I try to avoid posting on Ohio.com stories dealing with UA because of my obvious connections. I read through the comments and I can't believe how much some of the local idiots hate this school. It's ridiculous, really, and the more I read the less shocked I am that they could find a jury to apply such a ridiculous ruling. I did put up a quick post with some math I ran. If you base the value of the 50 space lot if the stadium was built, and consider the Zips have approximately 5 to 6 home games a year...If manny and joe cleaned up at $100/space (which i doubt would ever happen despite it's proximity to the stadium), it would take almost four-decades to recoup that $1 million price tag. 37 years to be exact. I say buy everything from them with whatever the new ruling is (hopefully it's fair) and then leave them with their $1 million parking lot. Let em pay taxes on it and sell those spaces 5 times a year. Let 'em spend 4 decades trying to attain that value for their lot. I'm sure the stadium will be just as hot of a ticket when it's 40 years old (well, hopefully it will be and be about 60,000 seats by then). Then the students in the new dorms can park there illegally. I really hope the U gets their way here. I know I'm somewhat biased, as a lot of us on here are, but anyone can see that anything over about $1.5 mil is way too much.

Quite a few internet trolls over there at ohio.com like most sites similar. I seriously doubt if you took a scientic poll in Metro Akron you find near as much hate towards UofA which is the main reason Akron is still doing better then many towns of similar size in the upper midwest. You have a few nuts and bolts with access to a computer that get off on sprewing that garbarge. I post there just to get out the facts and usually ignore many of the trolls that reply to my responese. I've notice as of late they don't.
