Art II's opening up his wallet...

[CKSteeler]

...to get new furniture in McCarthy's office. Really going all in on modernizing things, ya know? Maybe a nice post-modern recliner from IKEA even for when McCarthy is getting his mid-day massages.

The furniture in the coach's office apparently has been there since Cowher's time.

I'd have to imagine Tomlin is spinning in his grave from the jealousy.

[RealSwiss]

Do you think Tomlin spent enough time in his office to notice or care about outdated furniture? Probably have to blow the dust off most of it.

Buh bye

These tomlin gifs will live in infamy

Gotta purge the stench!

Well Art went from a “F” rating to a “D” rating in the players survey this past season

Maybe some new furniture and a coat of paint gets him up to a “C” next year

Fortunately for Deuce he doesn’t need to recruit.

My guess is the Steelers facilities rank at or near the bottom in the NFL but probably wouldn’t crack the top 50 in college football

The money the Bamas and Georgias and all the big conference schools spend on their state of the art facilities would give Deuce a stroke.

An addendum to my glorification of college ball would go to Rooney’s partner in cheapness, the University of Pittsburgh.

Did y’all read that Pitt is going to cover the upper levels of HEINZ field in effort to make it look fuller?

THAT’s your solution?

I have many friends and family members that are Pitt alumni that could give a rip about sports but man that school needs someone to commit to their sports teams other than women’s volleyball.

Rooney, Nutting, Pitt

Y’all got some cheap bastards running the show up there

LMFAO you beat me to it!

But Tomlin did have that closet he was always holed up in "watching film".

Let's just all come out and say it. How many times DID Tomlin beat off in the facility while supposedly watching film?

Feel like Pitt's been tarping the upper bowl for a while now. I might be wrong.

Yeah, if only Pitt had its own football stadium... maybe on campus? Maybe up a certain Hill, maybe up past the dorm I stayed at freshman year...? Maybe someplace with a lot of tradition, where folks like Dorsett, Marino, Green and more had lined up plied their craft? Sheesh, if only something like that was possible.

To the OP, remarkable restraint not posting the gif of Vito breaking the chair in Adrianna's office.

I never understood why Pitt tore down Pitt Stadium and didn’t replace it with new, upgraded on-campus facilities. There is nothing better for college students and alumni both than to tailgate on campus and walk to their football stadium on a college football Saturday.

I don’t understand some of the decisions Pitt has made, especially when it comes to athletics. They used to be a national football power that kept a ton of the Western PA talent at home. Now, they are a middling ACC program who has to scan the transfer portal constantly to refill their roster, while they lose a lot of the talent they do have on their team each year to other programs.

I remember they used to have a strong alumni base and the Golden Panthers. What happened to all that? Surely The University has lots of money. UPMC is a goldmine.

I hear there is no where in Oakland to build a stadium now, and the old location has been consumed by apartments etc. Anyone know Oakland and the feasibility of building an on-campus stadium?

[Ice]

It's now a basketball and multipurpose arena.

[Obviously]

So I guess the 60's lawn furniture has all been cleaned out and Deuce got a good bargain at the Salvation Army.

I never understood why a law library now stands at the former site of glorious of Forbes Field.

My apartment on Joncaire Street (cobblestone, with the bedroom facing the street, not wonderful if you wanted to sleep past about 7 AM) would have been right across the street.

MSU just got a huge infusion of cash from the Acrisure guy, a lot of it will go to fixing up Spartan Stadium. 400 million.

Now, would it have made sense for Pitt and the city to keep Pitt stadium, with it's history, and fix it up rather than that stupid idea to share Heinz?

A city run by jagoffs. Parking was a huge PITA at the old stadium I grant that. When my Dad would go to games back in the 70s the walks were quite long.

Those were fun times.

Loved going to Forbes Field & Pitt Stadium...taking the 61B to Forbes....walking cardiac hill to upper end zone.

The Pitt AD, and Chancellor (Nordenberg, I think? The AD had just arrived from Nebraska, but his name escapes) at the time were very much pushing the men's basketball program, which, at the time, was doing well, and did for a good run, and wanted an all-season, multipurpose facility in place of Pitt Stadium. When the prospect of the deal with the Steelers came up, they jumped on it, and that was it for Pitt Stadium. I was at the final game against Notre Dame with my dad. I'd been to a bunch, all the way back to when I was a sprout. Went to Heinz for one or two when I was actually a Pitt student, but it just wasn't the same. Sad mistake by administration, and almost impossible to undo at this point.

Basketball games were fun at the Pete, Oakland Zoo and all, but a poor substitute for a real college football experience. For concerts? Meh. Gimme the more intimate vibes at a place like Graffiti, or the Mellon Institute for acoustics connoisseurs.

Of course, Graffiti is gone, and so are pretty much all the bars, restaurants and late night dives from my time there, which only ended a little over 20 years ago. Oh, well, c'est la guerre.

And a large pizza at Antoon's isn't 5 bucks anymore.

There's a group on fb where some person posts all the newspaper ads for music from the 60s-90s.

Music every night in Pittsburgh. Lots going on.

I used to see live music from Thursday to Sunday every week.

Went to Pitt Stadium with my Dad in the 70s. It was insane, the Hugh Green Fever.

HUGH.

GREEN.
