| - I've been to a number of University of Pittsburgh football games here, though no Steeler's games yet.
The view is awesome, and you can see Mount Washington and the Pittsburgh downtown skyline in the distance. The stadium is well-maintained and easy to get around in. It is rare that college team gets to play at a professional football stadium.
If you have prepurchased parking, there are some parking lots right near the stadium. If you don't have prepaid parking, it seems like the thing to do is park downtown, and cross the Roberto Clemente Bridge.
When Pitt gets into the Red Zone of the opposing team (within the twenty yard line), the two large ketchup bottles at the top of the Jumbotron pour out ketchup onto the Jumbotron, where it says "Heinz Red Zone". Wow. Talk about commercialization.
Next thing you know, whenever Pitt falls behind, the Jumbotron will start showing "Catchup, Catchup."
Best highlights of every Pitt game:
- third Quarter rendition of Sweet Caroline with interjections of "Let's Go Pitt" or "Go Pitt, Go Pitt, Go PItt"
- students doing air lifts or whatever they are called the number of points Pitt has
- students going crazy with excitement when they are shown on the Jumbotron
It's definitely worth the visit. Go Pitt!
