History
Prior to playing at the Rubber Bowl, the Zips football teams played at Buchtel Field.
The Rubber Bowl has hosted 324 Akron Zips football games, 19 preseason Cleveland Browns games, three NFL regular-season games, over 1,500 high school games (including several Ohio High School Athletic Association playoff games), soccer matches, concerts and shows.
In the summer of 1988, the stadium played host to Van Halen's "Monsters of Rock" tour. The show was headlined by Van Halen and featured Metallica on the bill as well. In 1998, Ozzfest was held at the Rubber Bowl instead of its normal Akron/Cleveland venue, the Blossom Music Center.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”

“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
