The ribs are on the smoker, the weather forecast is good, there is a 0% chance of mud on the field, Major Falcon and I will be there early to secure the area for tailgating. GO ROCKETS

Ya gotta admit it is funny hearing a BG fan talk about someone else's stadium. The mud of the Doyt and the high school-like press box with the ceiling cracking and starting to fall is the pride of the MAC. And their high school basketball arena is second to none. PRICELESS!

Wander over to the Non-pressbox side and tell me what is so special? I've said it time and time again the Glass Bowl is 1/2 of the best stadium in the M.A.C.

The walkways are narrow and the concession stands are in cages. I expect to see Vince McMahon announcing a no holds barred cage match between hot cocoa and twizzlers.

And if you even wanted to talk about your precious press box side we can talk about how inadequate your press box is. The triax is laid all wrong causing headaches for broadcasters to put games on tv and you don't have wireless stat monitors, or at least you didn't the last time I worked a game there.

I always love fans from other schools that the only thing they can do is complain about another schools facilities.

Mud is one of the elements football is played in.

And Anderson Arena may not be aesthetically eye-catching, but when its rocking, its one of the best places to watch a basketball game (and its great when big 10 coaches walk out after a tough loss saying they're never going to play here again). I'll gladly keep that high school arena.

I've never been in the press box so I can't talk about that.

The "visitor" side of the Glass bowl is as ghetto as anything in the MAC.

Getting off at Bancroft from 75 puts in you a part of Toledo that is best left unseen.

If you find yourself on Dorr Street, you've gone to fricking far

its not that bad... i drive that way everyday to and from work. you won't get shot or anything, i promise. it's probably the easiest way, as there is only 1 turn once you get off the highway.

Yes, the Gayass Bowel is a perfect microcosm of the City of Toledo in every way.
