The tarps are out! Pitt has rolled out tarps at Acrisure Stadium to decrease the size of the stadium from around 70,000 seats to 51,000+. And Pitt has done this for two primary reasons. Number one: the stadium is just too big. Pitt regularly has between 40,000 and 50,000... fans on average show up to football games, which is similar to most college football programs. Playing in a 70,000-seat stadium every Saturday makes attendance look a lot worse than it actually is because of all those empty yellow seats. Number two: Pitt wants to increase the value of each individual ticket and improve the atmosphere. Let’s face it, it’s hard to sell tickets at a competitive rate when people know there are tens of thousands of empty seats available to purchase. And having people spread out all over the place looks pretty bad and causes the game-day atmosphere to feel a bit emptier and less energized. The goal is a smaller, fuller, more energized Acrisure Stadium. As the tarps go up, what do you think about the change? Let me know in the comments.show more

Literally as the clock hit :00 of the Pitt Football v. NCStatefootball game, the crew of around 20 plus from the Acrisure Stadium grounds crews hit the playing surface to repair it and get it ready for tomorrow nights Pittsburgh Steelers game. They were cutting it, blowing it, raking it and putting new seed down as you can see in the video I just took before leaving the media room just now. This crew busts their butts and has busted their butts to make the playing surface playable each game for years. Keep in mind, there is a very important philosophy here you just keep in mind. IT’s LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GROW GRASS IN THE NORTHEAST IN LATE OCTOBER AND THEN THE WINTER. It’s scientifically extremely hard to due. We learned about that in grade school. But this crew tries and tries hard and doesn’t deserve the backlash it gets from “fans”. Pitt is NOT going to get a new stadium any time soon. So, it’s really time to move on about the turf. It looks like this EVERY fall and winter for 25 years now. THE ONLY reason any fans know about this surface is because some media member made a big deal about it three weeks ago. I assure you, it’s been worse. Much worse. Time . To. Relax. Steelers Now

Down to the last strike at Clemson and Zane Denton just hit it out of the stadium to give Tennessee a one run lead. (This is the time of the year when I go all in on college baseball. Most underrated college sport.)

West Ham vice chairman Karren Brady Baroness Karren Brady CBE on the move to the London Stadium "I always make decisions which I believe are right for the right reasons. And coming hers (London Stadium) was the right decision for the right reason. I knew there would always be an element of supporters didn't want to and people don't like change. It's true, most people want things to remain the same but actually without change you can't evolve. This stadium has given us a platform in which we continued to grow the club, it has led us to a European trophy, its given 45,000 families the opportunity to come her every match day, we have the cheapest season tickets despite being in a new stadium, in London, in the Premier League. It has the cheapest adult season ticket at £345, all of those things are possible because we are here"

Florida fans showed up in numbers to Hard Rock and turned the stadium into a bowl game atmosphere. Legit 50/50 split. And Billy really said, “fuck you all, my being the play-caller is more important than any one of you getting to watch actual football.”

Jimmy Rogers wants Jack Trice Stadium to be the toughest place to play in the country. "I know there's a lot of people that are skeptical and maybe hurt by the exodus of players but the reality is they were coming to Iowa State to support Iowa State. (We still) have a football team here that will be extremely competitive and wants to play and represent something bigger than themselves... we've got a ton of opportunities here to make an impact, especially in the first five weeks of the season to be in the stadium and to make a huge impact with volume and noise and make it chaotic."

People really need to stop using the betting market as a poll, because the truth is the betting market this far out is never going to be accurate for multiple reasons. Number one: A lot of people make bets on emotions, not data. Number two: It’s incredibly easy to manipulate the market for pump and dumps. Number three: It’s even easier for people with a lot of money who want to control the narrative to manipulate the market for political messaging. The bottom line is, the most accurate a betting market is when it comes to political candidates, is the day of the election, and the further out from Election Day it is, the more inaccurate it will be.

What a scene in Buffalo. No one left their seats when the game was over. Highlights played on the Jumbotron and fans sat in appreciation! Honored to have been a part of the broadcast closing out the home stadium since 1973!

NEW: Ohio State Rep. Josh Williams introduces bill to make it a felony to plant a flag at the center of the Ohio Stadium football field. Williams introduced the bill after Michigan planted their flag on the Ohio State logo. The O.H.I.O bill would "prohibit planting a flagpole and flag in the center of the Ohio Stadium football field on the day of a college football game and to name this act the O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act." "No person shall plant a flagpole with a flag attached to it in the center of the football field at Ohio stadium of the Ohio State University on the day of a college football competition, whether before, during, or after the competition." "Whoever violates this section is guilty of a felony of the fifth degree."

One of the best traditions in sports is when Iowa fans wave to the kids in the Children’s hospital during football games. And with 50,000 people in the stadium today for a women’s basketball game, they made sure to keep the tradition going. So awesome 👏

At the end of the first quarter of every University of Iowa home football game, the entire stadium—including coaches, referees, and over 70,000 fans—pauses to turn and wave directly at the pediatric patients and families watching from the windows of the adjacent UI Stead Family Children's Hospital. Known as the "Hawkeye Wave," this incredibly wholesome gesture has been widely celebrated as one of the best and most touching traditions in all of college sports.

“What I think SPX is, is a wake-up call. And I think for the normie, the average person, it literally is best described as being the next Bitcoin, because that's literally what it is. Bitcoin was a wake-up call to show people that value is subjective. And SPX is the next iteration of that. And once you get enough people to understand that the value of the dollar is subjective. It only has value because people believe in it. Bitcoin only has value because people believe in it. SPX has value because people believe in it. And the next step is Well, it's not just money that is subjective in value. It is literally everything is subjective. The entire universe is this subjective entity that is created from our own consciousness. And that's what Like, the purpose of this vehicle, yes, it's going to make a lot of people a lot of money, but the point of that is to wake people up to the fact that the entire universe is this subjective entity.
