That would be a cool thing...UA doesn't have the greatest parking situation. Josh has a CC meet at 10 in Medina so we are hoping to get down there by 12 or so. I just RSVP'ed by email. It is supposed to be rainy and 50 this Saturday and I wasn't going to load up the car with all the stuff anyway. Thanks for sharing FMB! We will have a group of 6-10 coming down.

GO FALCONS!!!!!!!!!

Someone better tell them to change that menu item to "redHAWK" potato salad. They don't want to be getting a nasty call from Oxford or from the league office............... :lol:

Where would a good place to tailgate be? I am completely unfamiliar with the area.

mjmore,

I haven't been in the new Akron Stadium yet but there isn't a whole lot of parking area around it. The Zips haven't been drawing many fans so you may be able to park right beside the stadium in the field house lot.

Here is a map...I would try lot 9 or 10.

Best thing to do is take the Turnpike east and exit at Route 8. Then, its about a 15 min drive down to University. Hope this helps! The Alumni event is in the Zips Fan Fest area between the field house and stadium.

BEAT AKRON!!!
