> very true… my only point was that the steelers were gonna fill any stadium… did they need a new one…thats debateable… i think yes in way but they just executed it horribly… heinz sucks and they certainly could have made it 10,000 seats bigger. heinz is maybe 1500 bigger than 3rivers was. If you have a waiting list of 20,000 why wouldnt u want a bigger stadium. so far heinz has been noted for poor kicking conditions, poor playing surface, lack of crowd noise, ugly seats, boring facade (sp?) thats what i mean as far as the way they exucuted it. PNC, while has a terrible product inside, has got nothing but rave reviews about the venue itself.

I will agree with you on that. I was fucking pissed when they announced the capacity. And I think you’re right on the mark with the 10,000 number. I mean there may be logistical things that capped it at 65,000 (parking, traffic, etc.) but if there is no reason besides what HyComp said about keeping the demand up, then I think that’s bullshit. As far as crowd noise, i do admit that I did think that it would be louder in person than what I found it to be (ive only been to 2 games). As far as the design itself, the view from the nosebleeds on the south side of the stadium is amazing. We also sat club level on the North side, and it was still pretty cool. Much better than M&T stadium.
