Well, come September, I may never be seen again. Some friends and I have decided to make the ill-advised trip to Heinz field for the Steelers/Bengals game on September 18th. We will be in town that Friday and Saturday as well. While we already have our hotel booked (Hilton Garden Inn, downtown), we will obviously be in need of a location for watching the Oklahoma Sooners lose to our beloved Buckeyes on the 17th.
I would like to ask for any recommendations on reasonably priced venues for watching college football in downtown Pittsburgh. While I am only really interested in the Buckeyes game, we are allowing an Auburn fan to come along and he wants to watch that shitshow. It's on at roughly the same time as the Bucks.
Most important factors to us are:
- Comfortable seating and clear viewing of multiple games on big TVs
- Semi-close to our hotel
- Reasonable (read: cheap) drink prices
Bonus: Buckeye bars and good food are worthy of consideration as well!
What say ye?
Thank you in advance for your input!
