This past week while on business in Ohio, I dropped by the Kent State campus and checked out the upgraded Dix Stadium. My parents used to live near the stadium and I used to joke about it being a tinker-toy. But they have invested in the facility in recent years and it is now a legitimate MAC stadium. Here's the entrance as you walk up from the main parking lot:

Once you pass through the gates, you can walk through the tunnels into the stadium on the home side of the field. You get your first look at the FieldTurf surface and the bleachers behind the visitors sideline that were constructed a decade ago. That's where the KSU student section sets up shop similar to our students at Williams Stadium.

When you look toward the right, you see the videoboard and the cool plaza that has some tributes to former KSU players.

When you turn to your left, you can see the enclosed end of the stadium with the fieldhouse behind it.

Sly I have been in Columbus for work the past couple of weeks. We could have possibly connected. Although I understand Kent is probably about 1.5 hours away from Columbus right? That stadium looks pretty nice. I was thinking of going to this game but it corresponds with family vacation so I have to watch on ESPN 3. Man this is just the best time of year! I can't wait for football to start.

I really like the alternating striping on the field every five yds.

wish we had gone with that.

maybe when they re-do the logo.

I guess I should have checked with you, Scar. You can count on seeing me at the Morgan State game if you are planning on rolling over from Richmond.

By the way, I strolled across the field before they began setting up for practice. I knelt and prayed for the game for safety and our guys to be a great testimony to those in attendance. Then I went to the SE corner and took this panoramic pic with my phone:

Incidentally, if anyone is planning on making the trip to Kent for the game it might be fun to bring some local intel to this thread.

I will mention there is a Skyline Chili in nearby Stow for which I am a big fan. And the burgers & shakes at Swenson's Drive-In over in Akron is a regular on Travel Channel & Food Network. I picked up a Peanut Butter-Hot Fudge shake that easily would crack my Top 5 shakes all-time. Yeah, I am back on my diet this week.
Are we back?
