It might impress me in person, we’ll have to see. Expand I have to agree. The entire facility will be a huge upgrade over Rich Stadium but it’s no palace.

Times have changed though and the next generation of Bill's fans wont show up to a cold stadium unless the team is winning. I hate to imagine what the down years will look like at the New Highmark, especially with enormous ticket prices. Hopefully sooner! Expand There will be plenty of places to warm up in the new stadium as opposed to the bone chilling concourses we currently have. Quote

Music and PA blasting at ridiculous levels? Fake crowd noise pumped in? Not sure what the point is in declaring that the speakers will make it the “loudest stadium in the NFL”? 🤔 4 Quote

But I think the stadium they are actually building leaves the endzones uncovered. Am I wrong? Edit: Apparently I am wrong. I just watched the drone video and it shows a covered end zone.

TheFunPolice Posted February 14 Posted February 14 The wind is the worst part of cold weather, so blocking most of it will make such a difference in terms of comfort level Some of those seats tucked up under the canopy are going to be super cozy regardless of weather. You'll be dry and out of the wind Quote
SoCal Deek Posted February 27 Posted February 27 A couple of things I notice from looking at the latest series of drone photos (which are really amazing): 1. The precast subcontractor is behind schedule and is holding up the steel subcontractor, who is kicking butt. 2. Unlike the current stadium, there are no vomitories (tunnels) accessing the sideline upper deck. You'll go up or down stairs at the leading edge of the balcony. Again, the some really great photos!
