I got a chance to talk to E.J. Borghetti about the arrangement that Pitt has to play at Heinz Field. We talked about whether that was an advantage or a disadvantage. We also discussed the playing surface and if you will ever see Pitt return to an on-campus stadium.

At Big East media day, I talked to Temple coach Steve Addazio about playing at Lincoln Financial Field. Addazio even dropped the nugget about Temple possibly adding an on-campus stadium at some point.

I talked to USF’s Evan Landi about the possibility of the Bulls eventually playing at an on-campus stadium at Big East media day.
In short, it seemed like Landi likes Raymond James Stadium, but he wouldn’t mind an on-campus stadium either. He also made sure to mention that USF came out of South Bend victorious last year.
