and thats what the EA picture shows. if you zoom in, you can see it. it's hard to see because of the shadows.

Another theory: OMT and the team have more stadiums added, but wanted to get a blog out tonight. Is this possible?

Hopefully it's because they were working on progressive lighting.

Can we establish that it is covered by a tarp cause i've never seen a wavy shadow with x's on? After that Why is the tarp there?

I believe the X's are the crossbars behind the banner. you can partially see them in the real-life picture as well.

Also, I don't think that is a hard surface, so if it's some kind of cloth-like banner, that would explain the wavy shadows. but I wouldn't know as I've never been there.

but I will say it's a bit dark, even for being in the shadows.

Akron's old stadium has been there since 08 so at least it's not a generic stadium. And they have yet to play in their new stadium so it might be a case like Minnesota where they didn't have enough info to make the new one in the game.

I will add myself to the small group of guys that enjoyed the blog. The generic stadiums bothered me a lot. Glad that a lot of them are gone.

Minnesota
Western Kentucky
Kent State

PetroSun Independence Bowl - Shrevport, LA

*Based on the new blog, and cross reference with 09..There is always the possibility there have been more added.

I can believe the crossbars behind the banner or tarp. Ok I think OMT would need to come in and speak on this. To me its nowhere near the color of the real pic. I still think they are hiding something. Just like the OU player with his back turned as to not show that the Revo Speed helmets are in yet.
