Forgive me if I am wrong, but the time of the Brawl was never 800pm. TV times came out in May and set it at 330. Now that said, this article made it sound like things still might move. I don't know if I buy that at all.

Why would Pitt ask that the Pirates move to afternoon game? That makes 0 sense because now the Pirates fans will get all the spaces. If the Pirates game stayed at 6:45, then the Pitt fans would get all the spots and the Pirates fans would be out of luck.

To me the easily solution here is to move the Pirates game to Wild Things Park.

Unless Skenes is pitching that day, the attendance at PNC Park probably won't be much of an issue.

It still could be 20K and most of that will be season ticket holders who likely pre-bought parking. That is enough to cause a big problem.
