What's this?

I believe a couple of the VT-Temple games were also played @ Franklin Field

At least I know Temple would frequently play home games at that stadium when it wasn't playing at Veterans Stadium.

Temple is making progress toward that new stadium. -- HOO86 02/09/2016 12:41AM

35,000 is G5 size ** -- ren_hoek 02/09/2016 11:37AM

True. But the 70K stadium is across town. -- HOO86 02/09/2016 12:44PM

Pitt doesn't have anything close to enough land for a stadium -- Tailgate Guru 02/10/2016 09:18AM

Good article on potential for a new Pitt stadium -- Tailgate Guru 02/10/2016 09:20AM

Perhaps Pitt should work with Steelers on 45K seating plans for Heinz Field -- HOO86 02/10/2016 10:53AM

It's 27.9 miles from UCLA to their home stadium at Rose Bowl, in Pasadena. -- Atlee Hokie 02/12/2016 12:26AM

UVA played there last season. They have good crowds, but don't fill it. ** -- HOO86 02/12/2016 08:33AM

Tarping is foolish - Empty seats are empty seats -- Tailgate Guru 02/10/2016 1:30PM

Rice does it all the time. It actually looks better. -- HOO86 02/10/2016 3:24PM

Looks like somebody put a tarp over 15,000 empty seats -- Tailgate Guru 02/10/2016 7:29PM

How do you feel about USC-w placing giant jerseys -- VTHokie2000 02/11/2016 3:39PM

Given up on the attendance, or recognizing that the stadium is wrong size. ** -- HOO86 02/11/2016 3:02PM

These were intended to go under VTHokie2000's post below ** -- Tailgate Guru 02/10/2016 09:20AM

I believe Pitt has enough available land or at least -- VTHokie2000 02/09/2016 1:32PM

And if they did, Coral Gables would just say no. -- Atlee Hokie 02/12/2016 12:20AM

35K is NOT P5 conference size, but a fair size for BCS subdivision -- BigCrumpy 02/09/2016 1:30PM

Tough sell. Even the Phillies couldn't built near Center City. -- Maroon Baboon 02/09/2016 09:22AM

...and Miami! ** -- EDGEMAN 02/09/2016 12:07PM

Playing in an NFL stadium is lame enough, but when it's near empty... -- Maroon Baboon 02/09/2016 12:16PM

The problem is not the stadium, it's the fans (or lack thereof) -- Tailgate Guru 02/10/2016 1:37PM

Pitt would get better crowds on campus. Wake and Duke are another story. ** -- Maroon Baboon 02/11/2016 6:49PM

Pitt got the same kind of crowds when old Pitt Stadium was on campus -- Tailgate Guru 02/12/2016 09:44AM

Wake fills their stadium when they are winning. Duke needs more work. -- HOO86 02/12/2016 08:55AM

I remember the VT game at Temple -- BigCrumpy 02/09/2016 1:33PM

Did we used to play them at Veterans stadium? ** -- VT ChemE 1986 02/09/2016 4:18PM

Yes. 1990, 1992, 1997, 1999, and 2001 were all played at Veteran's Field. -- Will Stewart

And one year, we played a Temple home game at RFK Stadium in DC. ** -- Atlee Hokie 02/12/2016 12:23AM

Miami plans to block off sections of the stadium to reduce seats. -- HOO86 02/09/2016 1:04PM
