    Duzz-Best Defensive Performance since he's been HC

    I tend to be negative like most Pitt fans off a tough loss however I felt different after yesterday's game. I thought Duzz's Pitt defense was outstanding especially vs a top team on the road and was why we hired this guy. Of course, many will look at the 4th down play which I thought they...

    Heinz silently continues to haunt Pitt football

    Nobody blamed Heinz Field after yesterday's disappointing loss and now its all the coaches fault. Right? Before I argue my point, I want to be clear that yesterday was absolutely on Duzz and unacceptable however Heinz Field is still absolutely the biggest problem with Pitt football. Players...

    Pitt Attendance/Atmosphere continues to hurt recruiting 4/5 star recruits

    You can't win or compete for championships year after year without 4/5 star recruits. Look at the recruiting rankings. This isn't the NFL where you can buy free agents or get a top 5 player because we have a bad record. If you don't have the atmosphere, elite players aren't going to come...

    Pitt Attendance/Atmosphere continues to hurt recruiting 4/5 star recruits

    Pitt can do whatever they want with Stub hub. They own the tickets and stub hub is a customer. Get creative. If not, then come up with a advertising campaign of $1 for all uppers through face book, twitter, NEW food or beer specials for the really unattractive games. They need to try...

    Pitt Attendance/Atmosphere continues to hurt recruiting 4/5 star recruits

    Glad to see Pitt win and look forward to next week's game vs Penn State. I did want to follow up on my statement from two weeks ago because I knew I was correct and have been saying this for years. Pitt didn't sell 50,000 season tickets because there were 35,000 people or less at the game...

    Pitt Attendance/Atmosphere continues to hurt recruiting 4/5 star recruits

    I saw Heather Lyke's recent comment about selling 50,000 season tickets. Sadly, I've seen this same statement two years ago when Scott Barnes looked like an utter fool "SEASON TICKET RECORD" while Heinz looked like a yellow morgue the rest of the season even after the signature PSU win everyone...

    Football Business Plan Lacking in AD

    Actually, I've had season tickets for the NY Jets for the last 40 years and go to 6 to 8 games a year for a losing franchise as I live 6 hours from Pitt. I still go to one Pitt game a year but clearly if I lived in the Burgh or 45 minutes away from the stadium I would be there like I did for...

    Football Business Plan Lacking in AD

    Firstly, I want to congratulate Heather Lyke on landing Jeff Capel. It was a great hire and hope it works out. Though she will get an extended honeymoon because of this hire, it doesn't remove the biggest problem which is drawing people to Heinz which ultimately affects recruiting. As I've...

    A few QUALATATIVE observations that might be tough going to quantify but I will try.

    Disagree as we shouldn't be letting PSU fans buy season tickets because it will lead to embarrassing empties. You remember Scott Barnes bragging about our season ticket record two years ago. That was a fraudulent statement. PSU should be sold separately as a one off at a much higher price...

    What Could Be Done

    People want to know where their money is going for any fundraiser. I'm only going to donate if Pitt comes out and says the only way we can make the stadium happen is fundraising with financial updates. I'm not going to support any bad spending habits like Heinz Field because I don't believe in...

    Another on campus stadium article

    Happy Thanksgiving to all Panthers! As I've said and proven over and over, 4/5 star players want atmosphere and just look at the rivals recruiting rankings. None YTD and the Steelers relationship with Ben/AB/Bell is useless. Heinz is a morgue. To compete for championships because whether we...

    Pitt Master Plan meeting held yesterday

    Enjoy the article. https://pittnews.com/article/122959/top-stories/pitt-invites-input-master-plan/ Key comment on Stadium: Both project team members and community members who attended the meeting mentioned several times that a change in the location of Pitt’s football field could be a part...

    New USF on-campus stadium

    New USF on-campus stadium

    It's not excuses, its the facts about off campus buildings being morgues and kills recruiting. If you watched the 21st ranked USF BULLS last night vs Temple, you say them playing to 5000 people MAXIMUM in a 65,000 seat building with RED seats. If you thought Heinz was bad, this was a complete...

    Steigerwald-Building Stadium best fit for Pitt

    Personally, I think the stadium should be on lower campus in Panther Hollow with the Cathedral in the background since there is a lot more room over there to build out more dorms, tailgate, etc. however at this point upper campus works for me. I never understood why they would put in...

    Steigerwald-Building Stadium best fit for Pitt

    http://pittsburghsportsnow.com/2017/09/18/steigerwald-building-campus-stadium-best-fit-pitt/ Sadly in the today's business world, things have to implode for change to happen especially because some are too stubborn to change. This statement applies to the recent article above and Pitt's...

    Question for Chris Peak

    When Heather Lyke was hired, I listened to your podcast that day and you said her most important job was to fill Heinz Field. I agree with you a 100% because I assume you feel like me that it relates to landing 4/5 star play makers (we currently have none in the 2018 class) and only two or...

    If Colorado St

    Very Simple. Atmosphere sucks at Heinz for a Pitt game. Period. We need a smaller building on campus that fits our attendance needs which I think is 55,000 to 60,000 with the ability to expand. If you read all the CSU info on the stadium, they wanted an on campus stadium where the students...

    Pitt Stub Hub

    OK. I get protecting the desirable games where the opposing team travels well such as a PSU, ND, WVU, etc. who would buy the season ticket package. I think Pitt needs to come up with a way to sell the less desirable games for a VERY cheap price. If you look at this year's schedule the...

    Pitt Stub Hub

    Someone explain to me why all of the extra uppers or poor seats at Heinz aren't on Stub Hub rather than sitting in the Pitt bank. As discussed in the past, today's consumer doesn't purchase from the ticket office as they buy on the secondary market at market value. Case in point. Pitt vs YSU...
