RE: OT Olympics in Pittsburgh
Would be the coolest thing ever but chances are slim and none. For one our mass transit system suck donkey ballz... Two our topography doesn't lend the space needed to build the proper facilities.

Hence Pitt's lack of an on-campus stadium…

Small piece of history though... Pittsburgh thought they had a real shot back in the 30's. That is why North Park swimming pool is as large as it is... they were hoping it would be used for the Olympics.

Yea I agree. The topography doesn't really allow for more freeways as well. We need at least 2 more freeways, the Parkways widened, and a better rail & bus system. And we're not even talking about building stadiums and other things. Good thing is that we could use some other stadiums nationwide for soccer & field hockey & such. Could put the track stadium and Olympic Pools in Washington County off of 79. But then again that's asking a lot out of a cash strapped city, county, and state to come up w/ the money to fund all of these projects.
