Toledo Blade writer calls Convo "kind of dumpy," and claims no investment in upgrades since 1968. He also criticized the maze of hallways "that lead nowhere." One hallway...it's a circle.

we are still working the bugs out of our phone system...should
be working shortly

Marty, I listened to most of your show on WATH this afternoon. I thought it was very well done. Even your interview with that old dogfaced rice paddy grunt sounded pretty good. But, you should have asked him that toughest of all questions: Why had he decided to go to Miami before he was drafted. Gratefully, the Army beat some sense into him, and he came to OHIO after his stint in the infantry.

And, as always, my message for dogface is: Go Navy! Beat Army!

I wouldn’t say they lined the concourse, there was 3 maybe 4 phots. The 60 and 68 football team were two of them.

As for the scoreboards, the originals were replaced because they no longer made parts. I will give you the overhead scoreboard, and replacement of original bleachers. The floor did not need replaced and we got an inferior product that took a lot of the bounce in that floor. The original floor had a 6” tongue and groove diagonal sub floor laid over the joist with wooden leave springs underneath, topped off with the Floor laying in a north-south direction. New floor is laid over 1 1/14 sheets of plywood, eliminating the bounce of the springs and extra tongue and groove.

The old lady could definitely need a few ten million dollar investments.

Was unaware of that! Any reason in particular? That one is what 20 years old?

Interesting. Thanks

I believe that it might be legally possible now that the debt on the Convocation Center has been paid off. Initially, the university put in those dorm rooms to attract some federal dollars to help partially fund the construction of the building. Though, even at this late date, they might have to ask the feds for permission.
