I think this site was demolished shortly after my visit. It was a great explore and I’m glad I got to see it before it disappeared. This was the former home football field for the University of Akron.

Once Proud Stadium
Tonight’s post is another photo from the University of Akron’s Rubber Bowl. I heard recently that they are destroying this abandoned building because they’re concerned it isn’t safe. I understand why they’d take it down, but it’s also a little sad at the same time.

Stadium
Blair and I met up with Mike today in Akron to do a little urban exploration. Honestly, we didn’t have much luck. But we got a chance to visit the former University of Akron Rubber Bowl stadium, which opened in 1940 and closed in 2008. It was named the Rubber Bowl due to the huge rubber tire industry (Goodyear and Firestone) that used to exist in Akron. The stadium is now scheduled for demolition in the near future.

Pick A Duck
Here is something a little different for you. I took this photo at a local Octoberfest last fall. We had some friends over and decided to check out this festival. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being “Super Cool” and 1 being “Extremely Lame”, I’d say this specific festival would be a 3. It only scored that high because we had our friends with us who made the day enjoyable. So I tried to make the best of it and capture some interesting photos, which wasn’t easy at this festival….. Thus the close up shot of this carnival game…..

Rubber Duck
Pittsburgh is currently the host of the giant rubber duck,
which was created by Florentinj Hofman.
He started this in 2007 to entertain the world by a tour named “Spreading
joy around the world”. He is
trying to recall everyone’s childhood memories by exhibiting the duck in 14
cities around the globe.
Pittsburgh is the first American city.
