There were plans to build a slot machine/casino/horse track/gambling place out my way in Chippewa. They had plans ready and were ready to go and that ideal got shot down by the PA gambling commission. I would love to have one of them closer than Mountaineer, especially INSTEAD of a giant field in the middle of BFE. Not to mention the tax dollars it would of brought to my crumby county. But oh well, i’ll give WV my money instead… ---

I agree 100% until they prove to the city that they can win games, theres no need to build them anything let alone a brandy new stadium. In my eyes the steelers are the only team that deserves anything they got for their year after year good performances ---

they still haven’t done anything…if you were going on potential the pirates “above .500” bullshit they say every year then they would have 7 stadiums one for each day of the week, what it comes down to is PRODUCE FIRST then you get what you deserve ---

its also not just about the pens playing there… that thing is sooo old and soo out dated…and that place gets/and could get more business if it was newer…hold more events there city screwed up when they made that damn convention center…should have made one big thing that could also hold hockey games ---

I’d rather them spend tax money on a steelers stadium then not spend it and give the penguins something they don’t deserve. I’m a big supporter of produce and you will recieve, they haven’t proven shit to me other than they can skate on ice, and any 5 year old can do that I’ve seen it at schenley park ---
