Hosting an ACC tournament isn't out of the question. Before you spend all that money on a Carrier type dome you should confirm what the ACC tournament will look like. Once the ACC brass hears my idea about a 4-team pod system with the winner of the regular season from each pod hosting a 4-team playoff, the winner going on to the ACC tourney at a neutral site.... it may not make sense to play in a football stadium.
The ACC won't admit it but the local press wasn't too impressed with Atlanta this year.

Not exactly promoting a Carrier Dome... More thinking along the lines of Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy... Seating Capacity of around 70K.

Sorry...the Carrier Dome bit was supposed to be humorous.
On a separate note, do you really want to play on turf vs grass?
RE: OT... Looking into the future/Steelers Stadium - ClairtonPanther - 04-27-2012 10:28 PM
I'd rather watch football played outdoors on a grass surface.

Joey,
They can already host all of those other events you mentioned in article (besides FB) at the Consol Energy Center.
If the city had unlimited money, it would be better to spend it an on campus stadium

Kinda doubt Consol can hold a Wrestlemania, and Final 4. Most Final 4's are held in Dome Stadiums, and Wrestlemania's are now held in stadiums that hold more than 65K. I think Heinz could potentially hold one, but w/ Pittsburgh's weather during April it potentially could get T'Stormed out.
