That’s undeniable
If Pitt spends scarce resources on buying up land for stadium used 7 times a year -
Well
They may as well give up athletics
Stadium Authority may need to bow to PITT

You said Pitt doesn't have the cash flow, but in reality you'd be against it even if they did have the cash flow. Just pointing that out.
I'm no Souf fan but he is as right as can be. To spend the money on 6/7 Saturdays a year (forget concerts/other events no one is going to Oakland over North Side) is silly. Every Pitt fan needs to understand that when Pitt Stadium was tore down on campus football left for at least our lifetime unless someone donates $500,000,000 for the purpose of an on campus stadium.
They can play in Point Stadium. Dual field like the Raiders used to do.
Gobs on me. Is the incline still operational?
My point is that no stadium would ever get built using this methodology. And frankly, no arena either.
Which is why billionaires don’t build their own -
And the expenses get socialized by suckers .
Even when they literally vote against it
Time to seriously consider "Tarping" (Right Sizing) Heinz Field down to 50,000 fans for 7 Football Games (28 hours a year).
Heather get the consultants in and get this going.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!

I take it at this point you're making these posts to see how if you can stir people up. I had my suspicions after the "Pitt was the better team" post, and this confirms it.
How is this trolling? Did you read about the stadium authority? PITT is definitely playing at Heinz until 2030 but depending on what the deal is with the Steelers and a possible eminent domain claim in south oakland....PITT has more options then we have seen in the past 40 years.
I for one believe a stadium is waste of money.

So they'll move the University over a football stadium? Maybe San Diego or Oakland. LOL
You realize that only the government can claim eminent domain? And in some cases it can be legislatively delegated to private parties. But still requires that governmental approval.
And you then need to realize that the government isn’t going to do that for a stadium for Pitt.
Not sure what you are talking about. Did I miss a news story about the Steelers and Stadium Authority?
The Steelers will stay on the northside for the next 30 years probably. There is nowhere else to put a stadium in the city, and I can’t see them going anywhere outside the city given how much they(the Rooneys) have invested in the northside already. When 2030 roles around they’ll renovate it. Who knows what the right seating capacity and amenities will even be by then? We are in the middle of a pandemic. Anyone’s best guess right now would be less than what the stadium currently holds. Pitt will likely continue to ride the coattails.
Scrap Victory Heights and build a stade Pierre mauroy venue. Multi purpose with retractable roof. Home to more than one program. Plenty of pitt owned land at the top of the Hill for a intimate 40k center. Could be used all year round and generate multiple revenue streams. The government will practically pay you to build right now. Rates are near zero percent. Biden is big on fiscal stimulus. This would classify as an infrastructure project.
Pitt should just move to Florida or Texas and start a new campus. Instead of nationality rooms, have whole nationality buildings and become an educational EPCOT Center that becomes a tourist attraction. Take UPMC headquarters with it. It will pay for itself if the state government that is lucky enough to attract 100k employees, thousands of new out of state residents annually, and $1 billion in R&D doesn't pay for it themselves. Can have a Pitt HQ2 campaign and let states bid on it, and then sell off the existing crumbling real estate to Carnegie Tech and use it to fund a massive football stadium and athletic complex for year round use in the southern weather that will pay for itself in no time. A Pitt IMG academy that will just funnel players right onto Pitt rosters. Better demographics and recruiting territory anyway in the South. Who needs a location in PA when everything is about streaming and now on-line learning. Can leave UPJ as is if they still want a physical presence in PA (couldn't sell real estate in Richland Township anyway).

Boy he and I went at it a couple of times, in the old days. Miss his ego incensed posts. Was a lot of fun to argue with.
You're one of the reasons Pitt sucks at football. Are you a Pedo State graduate?
