Are the restrooms just big pits dug in earthen floors? Maybe a roving garcon de pisse for their version of the Tower Club? Is the field covered with used astroturf from a miniature golf course? Seriously... we're talking about the MAC here. I don't endorse the furry lifestyle, but when the Bobkitten is involved things can change mighty quickly...

But then they had the MAC Commissioner on and he said that the plan was to have some games on campus in 2-3 years. So I'm not sure what it is that has to be done to the stadium in the next couple of years. I had no idea Gillette Stadium was 2 hours from campus. That's crazy.

I did not hear commish say capacity was problem. I thought he said press box, visiting locker rooms were main problem. That press box does look really small.

No, I said that's what the announcers implied. Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

If they want football on campus they will have to participate in fundraising to upgrade the football facilities, with plans to upgrade capacity to 25000.  http://www.masslive.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/04/umass_football_could_play_on_c.html  Every day at 1:10, my 6th period students and I say "HIO", yeah I am that crazy science teacher.  Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 7  of 7 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 207 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 207 Guests 0 Registered Users There are no other users looking at this page.
