Potential USFL Team and Purchase of The Rubber Bowl
On June 28, 2012, it was revealed that the United States Football League is pursuing the Rubber Bowl for a potential team called the "Akron Fire."

Mason claims the City of Akron is supportive of Team1 Marketing Group's effort to potentially buying out the stadium although it would require extensive renovations.
