Not a lot of Pitt fans, are there? HAA!

The yellow seats don't help. It really amplifies people not being there. Supposedly the Steelers are opposed to changing the color of the seats, but that doesn't really make sense either --- they've sold out for 30+ years now, good years and bad.
Old Pitt Stadium --- an on-campus facility closed then demolished in 1999 --- was a great venue to watch a game. There was a realistic, although not cheap, plan to re-furbish the stadium: They should have done that, played a couple years at 3 Rivers/Heinz, and then move back to the on-campus venue. A big miss by Pitt, and there really isn't a logical spot right now for a new on-campus venue (the old site now is the locale of their b-ball arena).

Yeah, the yellow seats are striking. I have read about the yellow seats on BWI for years, but never watched a Pitt home game. Pretty sad looking.
Panther Hollow in central Oakland is a very viable spot for a stadium. I'd like to see them do it
That would be a pretty good spot. But one of my Pittsburgh friends said that the land acquisition costs for Panther Hollow are estimated at over 1 BILLION dollars! That's before the costs for the stadium itself. Sounds way too expensive.
There may not be many of them, but I can't dislike a fan base that hates Penn St and their loser, jag fan base.
