Re: Pitt AD: No plans for an on-campus football stadium

A new on campus stadium will not solve Pitt's problems. Their best option is to play Norte Dame, Penn State and West Virginia as often as possible. Unfortunately ACC contracts prevent the Irish from visiting more than once every few years. Penn State doesn't want to play any more than they are contractually obligated. Playing Duke, UNC, UVA, Miami, GT and Syracuse every year will not solve their attendence problems. It seems like Virginia Tech does travel well to Heinz.

While I like stadiums on campus, Pitt is 11 minutes from the stadium. Miami -- Stech 06/28/2017 7:14PM

Miami charges $99 for their season ticket package, and they still can't... -- EDGEMAN 06/28/2017 8:08PM

Homestead = 25 miles south of Coral Gables, 30 south of Miami -- HWA 06/30/2017 09:32AM

As awful as the Orange Bowl was they had much better crowds -- Stech 06/28/2017 8:17PM

During their heyday, they were also non conforming to NCAA rules. -- Atlee Hokie 06/30/2017 06:25AM

The thing is, with the recruits they had in the area & northeast kids -- Stech 06/30/2017 07:00AM

UCLA does a pretty good job at filling their stadium, the Rose Bowl. -- Atlee Hokie 06/30/2017 1:44PM

You are correct they do, but UCLA has almost triple the students & alums -- Stech 06/30/2017 4:32PM

Not winning hasn't helped attendance either. It's kind of amazing in 12 -- hokeyhokie 06/29/2017 09:26AM

The difference in being an urban landlocked.. -- NW Raleigh Hokie 06/28/2017 5:58PM

They can not attend games off campus as easily as not attending on campus ** -- lawhokie 06/28/2017 2:06PM

True. However, Pitt does provide tons of busses to transport students. -- Atlee Hokie 06/30/2017 06:31AM

Where is the room on campus to build a football stadium? -- Hamburger 06/28/2017 06:23AM

Lolz Quintessential BE move. Tear down f-ball for the sake of b-ball. -- crabcake77 06/28/2017 5:38PM

Pitt simply doesn't have a lot of cash ** -- Tailgate Guru 06/28/2017 08:38AM

The athletic dept may not but the university as a whole -- RJHokie 06/28/2017 08:43AM

$3.5 billion (with a B) endowment -- crabcake77 06/28/2017 10:24AM

The only serious money Pitt has spent in years was on the hoops arena -- Tailgate Guru 06/28/2017 2:16PM

Just risk adversed -- Mercury 06/28/2017 07:58AM

In other words, Pitt wants to collect ACC checks while sitting on it butt? ** -- Atlee Hokie 06/30/2017 06:34AM
