    Dunno, I think the field looked worse after this game:

    For all you people not familiar with PGh, The university of Pittsburgh is located in the Oakland section of the City of Pittsburgh about a 10 minute drive to North side where Acuisure stadium sits. Oakland is a very congested part of PGH. It is home to University of PGH Medical center. Many large hospitals are located here along with Carnegie Mellon University. Availiable Real estate is few and far between and is very expensive.
    It would cost Pitt plenty to to put up a new stadium if any land would be available.
    The Steelers and Allegheny County are fairly compensated for the use of Acrisure Stadium.Steelers maintenance crew has dropped the ball on this field condition of last week. Somebody needs to be reprimanded for the field condition.

    Biggest problem is Pitt doesn't have the boosters with deep pockets that would want to fund a stadium.

    The University of Pittsburgh, which shares Heinz Field with the Pittsburgh Steelers, also pays a fee for usage that comes in the form of a percentage of ticket sales (as opposed to a fixed figure), but takes home revenue from parking and concessions.

    Keep in mind Pittsburgh ticket sales are low.
