YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Who is going to the game Saturday?

I went to the previous two YSU-Pitt games plus a few other Pitt games and I guess section 103 is where they always sit most visiting fans.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Who is going to the game Saturday?

I live in Pittsburgh and will be at the game on Saturday.  I have not purchased a ticket yet - I want to sit with YSU fans.  Any advice on how to purchase a ticket or two where all the YSU fans are sitting?  I am so excited for this game!

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Scalzo: Improvements, construction on horizon for YSU

I work at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and the Palumbo Center is similar to Beeghly (at Duquesne one side had really nice chairs while the other side had ugly bleachers).  In 2010: "chair back seats were installed from top-to-bottom on the north side of the arena and treads, risers and chair backs on the lower level of the south side of the facility were replaced. In addition a custom designed center-hung Daktronics video board and four lower level corner scoreboards were installed. The renovation work changed the building's capacity from 5,358 to 4,406 for basketball."  The cost was $1.8 million.

Would you want YSU to do something similar?  Doing this would make Beeghly Center look much nicer but the seating capacity would be reduced.  What do you think?

Go on Duquesne's website and look under facilities for a picture.

I thought the WATTS Center was going to be built across 5th Ave. from the stadium.  So I guess YSU will no longer have an outdoor track?
