Pittsburgh's Turf Monster

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.

 

I forgot about that. No freaking wonder they have problems with the field. LoL

 

DAB

Actually the field has been in pretty good shape in recent years

 

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.

 

From the first home game this season it was horrible..they had all summer to take it up

 

10 minutes is a bit generous.

 

Not the smartest idea then to tie it to ticket sales.

 

Ok 20 minutes

 

How about building in a portion of Schenley?

 

Is there a property big enough to accommodate there?

 

Flagstaff Hill would probably work but acquiring the property would be difficult and unpopular

Plus I don’t see Pitt coming up with the money

 

Pitt would probably get better attendance if they had a stadium near campus

But Pitt playing at Acrisure is not a problem or the problem

 

That was the old field

 

Well compared to 3 Rivers it is the new old field

 

Actually summer is when you grow grass

They normally replace it in November

Get it, trying to be funny

 

Work through what I posted and follow the logic

 

As long as a bird doesn’t eat the logic or I will get lost
In other news, I backed over and knocked a palm tree down today on the job site.
Can’t have nothing nice with me around.
Wife agreed with me on that one

 

I’d make fun of you but I was camping in a forest……

I looked out the left mirror of my pickup truck and there was a tree but I was ok and was going to miss it

I looked out the right mirror of my pickup truck and there was a tree but I was ok and was going to miss it

So with tailgate down I backed up

Into the third tree

I never looked in the rear view mirror

 

There use to be this beautiful picture of Three Rivers Lit up for a Steelers night game.Lights reflecting off the water...what a site to see
