Heather Lyke talking to the media today had some of the following tidbits:
- Pitt is "flipping" the Pete for the 2019-2020 season. Cameras will be moved to the other side of the Pete to show the Zoo on TV, as well as moving the benches to the other side
- The benches will be moved to the other side as well
- Looking to move possibly move the media out of the lower bowl and add seating there
- Said Pitt has facility needs for their sports, will most likely relace the Fieldhouse with a new facility that will be a 3,000 seat Volleyball/Wrestling/Indoor Track facility
- No on campus football stadium to be built "at this time"
- Banking on donors to fund this initiative, no student fees will be used to pay for this
- Looking to move tailgating lots for students closer to Heinz Field for football games, said they are too far away and in a bad place for the students
- Will look at other facility improvements on top of the hill which will mainly affect the Fieldhouse and OC Lot (training facilities, aforementioned Volleyball/Wrestling Track facility, etc
- Has an agreement on PSU desk to have another 4 game series starting in 2026, but "will not wait forever on PSU"
- ACC Network production studio at the Pete will have a giant window so people can see the production acivities, sort of like the Today Show or something
