Akron zip football stadium

The run gave the Zips a lead and swung momentum in UA's direction. Arth said that play was called to provide better field goal position. Irons showed himself to be a dual-threat quarterback. Those 19 passes went to nine different receivers as he went through his progressions and generally hit the man who was open. In a couple of cases, tremendous plays were made to aid the cause.

Konata Mumpfield, a freshman, made five catches for 69 yards, including a reception on which he elevated to score a touchdown. On the ground, Irons amassed yards on 15 carries to lead the Zips who rushed for in the game. Although he did have a fumble — a questionable one — he enjoyed an impressive first start. Irons rightfully thanked his offensive line, which showed improvement this week.

I respect all of them. Arth certainly appreciated what Irons brought and gave him credit for putting the offense on his shoulders. The above fumble shouldn't fall into this category, but the fumble by running back Jonzell Norrils definitely qualifies, especially when considering the Zips were driving for what could have been a commanding lead.

Because of poor on-field performance, the Zips have had trouble filling InfoCision Stadium; in fact it has the lowest average attendance of any FBS program. InfoCision Stadium offers everything you would expect from a sports venue, including a wide selection of beer.

Most of the concessions can be purchased from the main stands on the east and west sides, but there are a couple of satellite stands, such as Chick-fil-A. Bud Light, Shock Top, and Yuengling are on draft, while the others are in bottles or cans Bud Light is available both ways.

The experience at InfoCision Stadium is rather low key, mostly due to the small crowd, but the venue is family friendly and easy to get in and out of. The north side contains part of the football facility, while the south side has berm grass — a handful of fans might stand here during the game, but basically this is empty space, except for the video board.

There is a nice walking path on both ends making it easy to move around, and fans along either sideline can easily see the big screen. Most of the seats on the east and west are metal bleachers without chairbacks, but there are two small sections that have chairback rails — one in the middle on the east side lower level , and the other in the middle on the west side upper level.

Four different companies have naming rights to parts of the stadium, so you will also see some branding in various locations.
