site for new stadium
- Thread starter Slick Manager of Champs
- Start date
we are going on year 15 for the hazelwood land being developed and it's still nothing but a warehouse and an uber track.. Promises of tech start ups and high end condos a decade ago are still nowhere to be found..
this project needs to go on the back burner, let the next generation figure it out..

I'm trying to imagine a gentrified Hazelwood and I just can't.
If people think stadium traffic in Oakland would be (or was) bad, this would be even worse.
Although, they could connect the proposed Panther Hollow road or rail line from Oakland to this via the proposed bridge.
neither can investors, hence the reason it's still an uber track and abandoned warehouse.. a nice bike trail though, that's something.. all these beautiful bike trails along the rivers, wonder if anyone uses em. I would, if I lived on that side of town, and had a bike..
The problem with the Hazelwood site is that the transportation connecting to it is a mess, and would get even worse. They thought Google might pick it for a headquarters? Lol. The only way to make it attractive is through improved public transit to Hazelwood, which mean rail, and they simple don't want to put in the money and effort, like Pitt and a stadium. So in both cases, things will continue to flounder.
They did it in Homestead, Lawrencville etc so..
Anyway, forget this hillside. Would be another 'land grab' by Pitt...

Zipline from the top of the CL, across the river, and land at the stadium entrance? Or maybe a gondola?
Gunshy?
Like that tract Elsie Hillman gifted the city on Neville Island. They built a nice playground on it until they discovered a zillion barrels of toxic goo buried underneath it.
Sometimes hard to grow grass, but easy to grow a second head where former Coke Plants once sat.
Saw them promoting a bunch of new bus stops in the newly named hazel wood green project. To extend the T, they will need hundreds of millions to do that, If not more so I don’t expect to see they in my lifetime.
They need to just give up on this site and sell it to cmu. We’ve already over saturated this city with high end condos, over estimating the number of young professionals in Pittsburgh willing to buy a 275k apt with a tiny deck and no off street parking.
Correct. Hundreds of millions is ok for projects to help the Steelers. But when it comes to helping average citizens... Sorry that's too expensive.
