Rubber Bowl is now gone

 

2017 visit    2020 visit  The bare hill is where the Rubber Bowl was.
There was a concrete wall holding back the hill. Rubber Bowl was inscribed upon it. Beyond the trees is a street. I read that the wall is still there behind the dirt.

This was a complex of structures. The rubble was part of the stadium. Immediately next to the stadium is Derby Downs, home of the Soap Box Derby. From this spot one can see aeroplanes take off, and land at Akron Fulton Airport. One can see the Goodyear Airdock for blimps. There are baseball diamonds, and a skate park. A little beyond the airfield is the former Guggenheim Airship Institute.
