Stadium Authority may need to bow to PITT
- Thread starter jivecat
- Start date
I'm confused. Why? And, there's absolutely no where else they could play remotely close to Pittsburgh with proper capacity outside of a PNC Park retrofit for football. So, again, I'm confused.
Wow just when i thought you jobbers could go no lower, now this. Kudos numbskulls
Maybe the footprint of the old stadium. Fans can sit on the hillsides. Dorms will be like Wrigley. It’ll be lit I tell you.
Other suitors. This might be the dumbest post ever on this board. Like who? Highmark Stadium? The Wolvarena (spelling?).
No sense of humor?
The premise of the entire thread is silly!
Isn’t this, in fact, a rumbling?
He doesn’t have a background in urban design / capital budgeting / construction management so he doesn’t understand the grand vision of www.newpittstadium.com.
Would be a great name for the floating stadium on the river concept.
If there are no/reduced fans they could play in a number of places. Although then not playing at all is also a likely option.
Sounds like there is some growing agreement for a right sized stadium, as some of us have said for years/decades now.
So what exactly is happening here? Can you elaborate, please? What are you hearing exactly? And, what's Pitt's plan? Thanks!
I don’t want to steal Conjunto’s thunder after all of the work he has put in behind the scenes on this. So I’ll wait for him to get back from Costa Rica to share all of the details himself.
Ahh yes, the perfect time to build a stadium is when we don't even know when fans can fully come back.
I think any stadium change would have to come between 2027-2030. I think that is the point....the city better gets its act together in the next 4 years or PITT and the Steelers may be gone.
The Steelers aren't leaving the North Side, the Rooney's have way to much money invested in the North Shore and nowhere in the region can afford the money the Steelers would want for building them a stadium. Remember thanks to Las Vegas the new minimum for government stadium money is $750 million, does anyone think Butler or Washington counties can afford that? The Rooney's are playing the long con and will hit up the taxpayers every few years for "improvements" like the redo of the south end zone area.
Well,
The highest point on campus, with the best view of downtown,
Is the newly proposed lacrosse field on the OC lot.
For anyone interested, a lacrosse field measures 110 yards across and 60 yards deep.
Run with it, beyotches.....
Nothing to run with. Pitt bot and administration don't have the testicular fortitude to make it happen.
You spelled cash flow wrong
Why would I be against it?
I actually have season tickets for a long time and go to games
Your tv view won’t be changed
Because you have said many times that new stadiums are money losers.
There was a good discussion on the FAN today
About the stadium, Gorman thinks its coming one day, and callers discussing the issue. Wasn't sure if anyone heard it and many great points were discussed.
