I heard that it is close. Someone who would know told me that it would be plugged in along Exchange Street and take up the block next to the new fieldhouse. <The old McDonald's has been razed>

I haven't heard anything new in awhile, but you're pretty much on the mark with the location. Word has it that the city is kicking in serious money to rebuild the spicer village neighborhood as well!

I only can only hope that the new design will be shaped like the rubber bowl in the form of a horseshoe. One completely closed end does a lot to get rid of the high school stadium feel.

? is, will the new facility still be called the Rubber Bowl?
How about John W. Heisman field after all, he was the only coach that ever led us to victory over Ohio State!

Here's an old story, I don't belive this will actually be the design.

It shows its' age, but still the best MAC staduim IMO.

I love watching games at the RB. It may need work but there isn't a bad seat in the house.

Just keep the light poles on top of the stadium. I hate trying to see around one of those poles.

Those poles are part of its' Ol' tyme feel. Just be happy the goal posts are at the back of the end zone
