WHO IS REALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT A NEW PITT STADIUM?

Tepper has given over $100 million to CMU. If he cared about Pitt athletics, then he would have made more than just token donations by now.
yeah but he has a pitt script helmet on his desk.. CMU cant say the same thing.. Yeah, he bought them a business school but I guarantee you he cant name one person on their football team..
Of course, this reply makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, nor did it come anywhere near answering my question. This is typical, and to be expected though.
I think it's safe to say that Zeta is a troll. Maybe the Dude or PennyLion (although this is below the Dude and he's too literate to be Penny). Who knows?
Please stop feeding him.

I don't think he is a troll, just think he really likes his on campus stadium plan.. Nothing wrong with having an agenda, if it's pro - pitt. At least he is not like that dionlewis dude, acting like a pitt fan while fantasizing about being in the middle of a Sandusky-james franklin threesome..
I agree but I've watched PSU guys plant things then go brag about it on BWI. It's just beating a dead horse and the arguments look silly because they never change.
And I'm sure the fine people who run this city will get "right on it" especially as it would relate to Pitt.
well according to pittguy1980, the city evolves around Pitt and CMU so im sure, it will become top priority..And I'm sure the fine people who run this city will get "right on it" especially as it would relate to Pitt.

Which is why Pitt needs to force the issue... by creating more traffic to make the citizens demand changes. Then we get a dedicated rail line, more major routeway changes, and a n enclosed Bigelow between Fifth and Forbes.
Pitt has forced many issues with our esteemed city council members. For whatever bizarre reason, even though UPMC is the leading employer in the city, they have a tendency to resist anything Pitt needs. Makes no sense but it's reality.
Pitt troll, PSU troll, WVU troll...it matters not. He's dense and his continued dim mantra is actually entertaining in a perverse way. Watching him post is like watching someone get kicked in the beanbag over and over again. You know it's painful...but it's damn funny watching it happen to someone else.
I don't know if he still is, but in the past he has actually been one of Pitt's top donors. We actually need a few more people who donate the way that he does.
Has he been asked for a mega donation for a mega Pitt project? You have to ask.
They can resist Pitt and UPMC, because people don't like large institutions in Pittsburgh. But they will have a more difficult time resisting people threatening to vote for somebody else if traffic is bad.
knowing the pat failures of a few people who have been in charge of pitt's alumni donations, you really never know..
Of course not. Can you ever see Nordy allowing that for a stadium project?
True but we need to ask for a MEGA donation. A espn.com headline donation that I see come up once a week from other programs.
Its nice of him to give $25K, $50K. But we need a hundred mill from under his couch cushions to get going.
What?? Pgh LOVES large institutions, like unions, party monopolies, the Rooneys and Primantis....all large, obstructive and/or useles.
We aren't entitled to a damn thing. Offer to change the name from Cathedral of Learning to Davidral of Learning. Calling it Davey is way cooler than Cathy.
Because I am not a multi-million dollar urban design firm (?) If you understood this field, you'd never ask that question.
David Tepper funded the entire Pitt Basketball Scholarship Program. Every scholarship. Ask EJ. The man is worth $13,000,000,000.
David Tepper NEEDS TO BE ASKED by Gallagher. That's the only way he becomes a part of us.
$1m for scholarships is a far cry from a big check from him. He gave CMU $55m for the business school and another $70m or so for the upper quadrangle with a new business building.
But but but...your plan? your website? your connections in the urban design field? your connections in construction and engineering? your connections in finance?
What exactly ARE you then?
That's what some people don't understand. There's a reason he gave that much to CMU, and it has nothing to do with athletics.
The OP has a difficult time distinguishing between fantasy and reality and can't read real well or comprehend what he can read.
I've always been for an on-campus stadium, but know it's not even close to feasible and there are no feasibility studies already completed or ongoing that say it is feasible. Just plain facts. And Populous has nothing to do with anything connected to a new "Pitt Stadium" that doesn't exist. But there will always be those with pipe dreams that are way out there and impossible, at least for the foreseeable future.
And who would I learn that from? Certainly not you, from what I see in your posts. I already have an advanced degree in Finance. And since you don't have any money to speak of, you can't help.
The OP has some seriously misplaced priorities and seems to be totally out of touch with reality.
Nordenberg is gone. Basketball paid the bills prior to joining the ACC. I'm all in for a new on campus football stadium. Are you in charge of fundraising or just another poster who wants someone else to pay the bill for their pipe dream? The money isn't coming from the state, so hopefully your plan has factored the donations necessary to achieve this goal.
Tepper could conceivable make a $200M donation towards a new on campus stadium. Problem is, Pitt has not done due diligence in securing a location for such a project. They might very well tell him that they could not accept the money, then wonder why fans don't love playing at the yellow and black Heinz Field
you think pitt would really turn down a 200 million dollar check? For some reason, I don't see that happening.
