| - I think you gotta love the "Stillers" or be a Pitt fan to understand why anyone would think this place is terrific. Sorry guys, I don't necessarily get it. This is certainly not the most horrible stadium I have ever visited, but it sure isn't up to snuff with many of the other stadiums about the country. Went to a Univeristy of Pitt football game over the weekend. Since I am from out of town, I was not familiar with the layout or where to enter in terms of where my seats were located. Got some pretty bad directions from the staff working outside of the stadium and needless to say, I spent almost the entire first quarter of the game attempting to find our seats.
I will say that once seated, the view is good and nothing that I could see would impart your vision of the field from wherever you are sitting. Food offerings are your standard fare (hot dogs, soda, hamburgers, nachos, etc,) - nothing out of the ordinary.
The main concourse on the street level is pretty nice, and gives you a nice sense of the history of the "Stillers" and is really a walk down memory lane, even for those of us who don't live in Pittsburgh but remember the teams from the 70's and their glory days. (Yes, admittedly, they are still a pretty terrific team!).
Loved the Heintz bottles on the fan-o-vision that tip over and look like ketsup running down the screen - very cool!
