Pitt v Syracuse at Yankee Stadium November 11
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
Sure. Will be interesting to see how attendance goes. Historical game.
They must not play Notre Dame this year. No way the Irish would miss that one, especially early in the year when they could burnish their mythical Top 5 preseason rating.
Will the ESB light up tge color of the winner? Lol
Asking for a friend.

500 Yinzers with Primanti Brothers sandwiches and Iron City beer in their coolers will show up.
Actually moving this Historic Game(100 year anniversary) to New York City to be played at Yankee Stadium is great from a PR perspective. Yankee Stadium football capacity is about 48,000 so I expect it to be near capacity.
People have to remember that the Total Student Body of both schools combined (Pitt/30,000 and Syracuse/20,000) is only about half of Penn State with their 20 Branch Campuses Student Body of 100,000.
So when people talk about attendance it is all relative.
The ACC has abandoned the divisions this year so in November we start with Florida State at home and then move to the Big Apple at Yankee Stadium. Our OOC schedule this year will feature many interesting match ups
including West Virginia, Notre Dame and Cincinnati.
Pitt was a TOP 25 team the last two years (AP #13/2021 and #22/2022) under Narduzzi but with this schedule will have to see how our new transfers and QB work out.
Don't know what colors the Empire State Building will be for the November Game but they were Red on January 20, 2023 for the Lunar New Year.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!

I'd take one home game a year at Yankees Stadium as it helps with the NY area team image.
no I mean it, it's a great marketing tool and since we can't fill our stadium, nothing wrong with expanding plus it keeps this $hit out of there
Most peple in NY find that getting to Yankee stadium for anything other than a Yankee game is not worth their effort. If our team is good- they have no problem with a much nicer trip to NJ
No one in NY is going to waste the energy going to Yankee Stadium to see a 4-8 RU team either get their ass beat or squeak out a 10-7 win against a crappy opponent. I doubt many people in NJ would either.
I hear what you're saying. But if you've been to a game there, you know it's a God aweful venue for football. As somebody who makes pretty much every game within reasonable distance, I would never again go there for a football game. I would act as if it was a road game.
What is the point of commemorating a centennial involving a stadium that's been gone for a dozen years now?
One day we will make a triumphant return to Yankee Stadium via the Pinstripe Bowl, the ultimate prize for a Greg Schiano coached Rutgers football program.
Is there any other area that pretends a completely new stadium is the old one? I mean Soldier field at least it’s a gutted renovation on the old site, and the old entrance columns are still around the outside. But does San Francisco say games played at Levi’s are Candlestick records? The Mets games at Citi Field break Shea Stadium records? Celebrate the anniversary of Veterans stadium at the Linc? So strange. The stupid Yankees who chased the money and knocked down the palace to the outcry of everyone not named Steinbrenner don’t get to backtrack now and pretend that stadium is anything the same as the original
Any surprise that this is the same organization that likes to bask in past glory from many years ago?
Actually, longer than that when you think about it.
I have and I know but it doesn't change the dynamic we agree on. Many will scoff but small minds mean nothing right; the lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of the sheep. lol RU has too many sheep and small minds as evidenced by the many comments that adorn medicrity.
We're talking, other boards are talking, about a game in the city between two ACC teams in the Mecca of America's game instead of talking about how RU is gonna woop some ACC ass in the city. nuff said
Sadly, this is true . We would be thrilled to go there too.
Although another schiano strategy is getting the APA high enough that we will always be in play for good bowls if we get another global health pandemic.

Criticism for having a high APA. Interesting perspective.
Which makes it the perfect venue for the Fightin' Jim Browns vs The Fightin' Dan Marinos

What a disaster. Arguably the worst playing surface in all of america. That field will claim an acl or two here
I could tell myself that I care about this game, but... I'd be lying.
We'd be better served with one home game at Met Life -- at least it's a football stadium. If we don't win more than OOC and Indiana, the stadium in Harrison would fit the bill for us though.
Nothing new, that aligns with Plum's M.O. on this board for years now. Has posted many times that it doesn't matter if you cheat to win and who cares if kids go to class and/or graduate. He's consistent, I'll give him that.
Guys I'm still here at Yankee Stadium waiting for the Rutgers/Maryland game to start. Does this mean it's a doubleheader?
Epic Fail
That has no relevancy on our image with football fans in the area at all.
Can't make it. I've scheduled the day to rotate the air in my tires and oil my windshield washer container. Maybe I can make the 200th Anniversary Game.
Yep . I am also consistent that big time college sports constructed as is does not belong at academic institutions and don’t align with the values and mission. But we all know that . There are really no rules . Obviously, some stuff would not be ok and we all know what that stuff is. I.e Penn state
Trust me no one will care about a guy’s expos grade Or shooting stupid paint balls if we are winning. The stadium and tailgate lots . We will all be there
