It's fine. No police presence but there's nothing good to rob and it's usually well populated and without a lot of nooks and crannies. If you're a woman, bring mace and a rape whistle around your neck. Sit near other women, away from the restrooms and supply closet. You'll be fine. If you're a dude carrying cash, dress like a hobo and don't flash the cash and you'll be fine.

The taxpayers were paying paying off Three Rivers stadium debt until about 2010, nine years after it was demolished. The debt on the Civic Arena wasn’t paid off until 5 years after it was demolished. (Not the original debt, but for improvements over the years )

Unless there was additional debt incurred in the past few , the debt on Acrisure Stadium will be paid off in 2031.

The naming rights money goes to the Stealers.

Edit to fix typo

My friends and I had a discussion recently after a trip to Columbus about how woefully underrepresented fast food chains are in Pittsburgh.

We have neither a Krystal nor a White Castle!

No Skyline Chili.

Even Burger King is weirdly sparse, as is Popeyes (yes, I know they're around, but you have to make a point to go to them).

Would also love some Southern staples like Bojangles and Zaxby's.
