Pitt has their own locker room at Heintz field they don't share one with the Steelers. They were saying that it is actually bigger then the Steelers one.

I don't see this happening for our bulls any time soon at RJS.I'm sure this was negoatiated prior to to the stadium being buit. Remember Pitt has been playing ball for a very long time with a few NC under their belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that Pitt is a public state university part of the deal was Pitt got its own locker room and other amenities within the stadium and did not have to share with the Steelers.

Guest Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 while watching the game. Pitt has their own locker room at Heintz field they don't share one with the Steelers.

The Steelers only have 53 players... so it makes sense that the Panthers' locker room would be bigger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not report how the Evil Glazers are ripping our state school off? Where is the outrage? Where is 8 on your side?(kidding about that one)Seriously, if more people in Tampa spoke up this could be fixed. We have plenty of uneventful days in Tampa, maybe we can pick one of them to have a front page cover on the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucs vs. Bulls? Forget it. I don't think there are many media members that care enough and simply view it as the Bucs Stadium anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure don't see 10 story pictures of USF players adorning the outer wall of the stadium. You sure don't see any billboards that encompass the area that pertain to the Bulls, let alone on the welcome walls of the stadium. Community stadium my arsk! It shouldn't be called RJS, but Glazer Screw You Stadium at Bend Over Field! Reaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
