With the new conference alignment we don’t know how long it will be until we see LSU again eitherThe one in Pennsylvania.... Our group has been debating whether to go to Pitt or LSU next year, and while LSU would no doubt be a LOT of fun, we have no idea when we would get to play Pitt up there again. So... Any of ya'll have any recommendations on what to do up there? What to see and where to go? The game is early enough in the season that I am sure the weather will be pretty nice, so outdoor stuff should be good to go.
Most of all we are hoping for some sweet sweet revenge.
Like others have said, if you're into architecture Falling Water and there is also a state park, Polymath, that has bought several FLW houses from around the US and had them moved there, You can even stay overnight in them.
The Laurel Highlands also have Ohiopyle state park with rafting and you can even ride a bike there from downtown Pittsburgh on a rails to trails path called the Great Allegheny Passage.
For history, there's Fort Pitt in downtown and Fort Necessity in the region and Heinz History center.
More highbrow stuff includes the Andy Warhol Museum, Carnegie Museum, Phipps Conservatory, Heinz Hall, and the National Aviary.
Kennywood is a very unique amusement park, over 120 years old and it has a number of rides that are the last of their kind in the world. In addition to a still running 100+ year old roller coaster, there are lots of modern rides including an entire area themed for the Steelers with a pretty good coaster.
There are the two inclines up Mount Washington. Also take a drive up Mount Washington to Grandview Ave for great views of the city especially at night.
The Strip District is the area in the city where restaurants used to got to get meat, fish, vegatables, etc. Still that and also has lots of great food places (get a fish sandwich from Wholeys) and that is where the original Primantis Brothers is (sandwiches with fries on them, overated in my opinion). Lots of great little italian bakeries throughout the city and Polish Hill for perogie.
The Pirates will suck but if there is a MLB season, PNC Park is beautiful and good tickets will be cheap.
For gambling there's Rivers Casino next to Heinz Field, in the area is Nemacolin Resort with a golf course and The Meadows Racetrack for horse racing.
I grew up in southwestern PA.

Well we will be playing Pitt @Pitt so.... maybe go to the Florida game to show her what its about ?Not a season ticket holder, not an insider, only watched TN in Neland. Please give advice to find tickets. I want this to be my daughter's first game so when I take her to Knoxville she will understand what football is all about.
Go to Pittsburgh. LSU fans are hoodlums and like you said, who knows when we'll play Pitt again.
Lesson being avoid the North if you value your freedomIf you happen to CCW be sure you understand the firearm laws of the states you go through. Things may have changed but I had a friend years ago had to spend some serious time and money in either Virginia or Maryland. Seems like their constabulary in a few places routinely pulled over southern cars as most of them had firearms that violated their concealed carry laws at the time. I don't travel that way often as in scores of years since going up that way.
If hooker had started that whole game we win by two tds. Giving Pitt too much creditWas scouting Pitt just now
Yeah Pickett is gone but.....
They return
All their top receivers one of which was the Biketkinoff winner and a transfer from Akron who was a freshman all American.
A TE they think is gonna be good.
Both their top RB's.
Their entire offensive line.
Transfer QB Slovis who started at USC.
All their top pass rushers and pretty much everyone else from their defense...
Absolutely cannot afford to shoot ourselves in the foot again. No way this will be easy.
Of those two options I would absolutely be going to Death Valley. That atmosphere has to be so cool.
I will say though, I would only want to go there if it were a night game. An 11AM kickoff there would be lame.
