Not enough parking; Corner seats isolating
To put it bluntly, I think the students… Not enough parking; Corner seats isolating
To put it bluntly, I think the students got screwed. Not only was there not enough parking (that can be left for another forum), but the student section is worse than it was in Pitt Stadium. The big problem lies in the location.
In Pitt Stadium, you could sit on the 30-yard line at the edge of the student section. At Heinz Field, the edge of the student section looks right down the 3-yard line. They shoved us in the corner! We’re not close to the team at all. They used to be able to interact with the students to try and fire them up. Now we are pretty removed from the action. You can see who the move to Heinz Field was for…not the students.
There was one more problem I had. Was it me, or did it seem like the band intentionally skipped or played softly the part of the fight song that goes “Fight, Pitt, fight. V-I-C-T-O-R-Y” (aka Penn State sucks, P-E-N-N S-T sucks)? Perhaps we should even change the chant to “These seats blow, T-H-E-S-E seats blow.”
