Better execute the move before Peduto converts all the streets to bike lanes.
There is no space in Oakland
- Thread starter HailtoPitt
- Start date
I seriously doubt anyone currently old enough to contribute to this forum will live long enough to see any type of stadium for football built on, or even near, the Pitt campus. The $$$ required would be huge, way too much to justify spending it on a structure that will have limited use by a limited number of university students. There will always be several projects higher on the Pitt priority list than an athletic stadium. I believe it is a much safer bet that the university contributes something to the Steelers for another shared stadium when the NFL determines Heinz no longer makes the grade. And that's many, many years down the road.
7b would be for 200 miles of new track for the entire region. Oakland would be cheap in comparison, and estimates are available via Google from before the Rooneys buried that plan in favor of the Northshore connector.
These developers must be crazy to invest this kind of money in Oakland??!!
Terry Smith and Miles Sanders mom both told me Oakland was the worst ghetto in PA!!

You gonna stick with this joke for awhile, huh?
i saw a 2.5 billion dollar price tag to extend tee up 5th avenue. that was awhile ago so that price estimate is probably irrelevant. outside of a new bus route, we aren't getting any new rail system to Oakland. you start talking billions, it goes out the window.. you cant build a freakin tent in this city without getting into 7 figures..
Nope, but people will be able to BRT/T it (students for free) from the Cathedral directly to Heinz Gate C and back whenever they want. I'm thinking Pitt admin doesn't see an issue. I'll see Jesus before and Oakland stadium.
Maybe they can build a monorail from Johnstown to Gate C?
Ironically it looks like that guy is playing for Pittsburg State (Kansas). Which has its own stadium, of course.
Nope. If we're packing up and moving east, I want our own stadium! After all, that's the main reason for the move, right?
he's doing something to 5th avenue with regards to a bike lane. story was on the news last night, I turned it off before I saw the details..
It may take them 50+ years to fix an interstate, but they sure can pump out those bike lanes.
I live in south park, they repaved and did bike lanes on Corrigan (Main stretch thru the park) in about 72 hours. you don't involve PennDOT , it's amazing what you can accomplish..
Yes. The Nit Mayor knows there are only about 15 people who ride bikes in the city (being part of a first-world nation, as we are). But its a way to stick it up the tails and make the lives miserable of commuters who (like Pitt) don't "pay their fair share".
I pity anyone who has to drive into Oakland on a daily basis. not so much students but any grown adult. that would suck. I have mixed feelings on bike lanes. the one in south park irritates me cause im on that stretch everyday but oh well, if it gets more people out exercising, good for all I guess. What irritates me is now runners are running on the bike lane on Corrigan in south park. please don't ask why that bugs me but it does.
Running in a bike lane is like doing bicep curls in a squat rack.
Riding a bicycle on streets with cars is one of the dumber things a person can do. IMHO. It's crazier than riding a motorcycle on the street, and that's pretty crazy.
I ride a bicycle at least four days a week. I put it on the back of my car and drive a few miles to a dedicated bicycle / walking trail to do it safely.

some of these busier streets is insane. I see people doing it over in east liberty, on 5th, and it really isn't suprising that there is a fatality or two annually. sad but not surprising. if anything, im shocked there isn't more..

Hail, love your sig pic but the athletic department should update it and come out with one in Script and add Fitz and Donald. What say Ye?
That's a Bingo.....
The OP must not have read the article which read like a Papal Bull why it will not get done; at least in this Century.
I agree! I don't know if the athletic department actually made the picture, I just found it on the internet one day. I actually tried to edit it and add 725 at the end but wasn't able to upload it, that's why I chose it to begin with!
Funny you mention that though because I've been trying to update it myself, though I'm not the best at that kind of stuff. However, I do like your sig and avatar as well. Believe both of them are from the last game @ Pitt Stadium? Good memories

I think they are from the last game, but like you I just googled Pitt Stadium and liked the picture. Those were good memories. I was younger and quite a few pounds lighter so Cardiac Hill was never a problem for me and finding parking in someone's driveway a few blocks away was like a game to me.
I'm in the same boat as you. Didn't think anything of the hill when I was younger. Three knee surgeries later, and I have a different take on it

And me quite a few pounds heavier. I would have no problem being shuttled to the top of Cardiac Hill or wherever the stadium would be. You get shuttled by school bus at Notre Dame and no one bitc*es.
At a Pitt @ Notre Dame game I'm waiting in line for the bus to go back to the White Lot parking area and a buddy of mine called me that lives in Franklin, PA. He tells me a buddy of ours and his brother were at the game, did I see them? I'm like, there's 80,000 people here! What are the chances I'm going to see them? So I get on the bus to take me to my car and who's on the bus? The buddy of ours and his brother. Just amazing.
