If Pittsburgh wants to be a city with 3 sports franchises and a big casino, additional traffic is something that might come as a result.
2. There are other concerns with Majestic Star - notably, their plan doesn't call for a temporary casino (the other two have temp. casinos built into their plans), and that would delay the arrival of slots here by a year or so. I've also heard that the gaming board loves their location.

You don't make a stupid decision to create terrible traffic, if you can avoid it. It is that simple. If you are out driving, and you have two choices to get to your destination, and one of them is completely tied up by an accident, do you choose to go that way anyhow? Even for you, I suspect not.
The point is, if there are alternatives, use them. Don't make a bad situation worse, on purpose.

As devils advocate: one of the foundations of the new arena is the number of new events that it will be able to house. What about all of the traffic problems that will occur on nights that there is an event when a slots parlor is right next to it?
There are more than 2 ways into that area, but on the South Side you are stuck with only 2 options. If an emergency were to occur there (IoC), there would be a number of routes for emergency crews to take.
No matter what you think about there are a 1000 of variables, there is one true constant, and that is the South Side is not capable of supporting this additional traffic. And that has nothing to do with if you think we Pittsburghers have no clue what traffic is, that is a very FLAWED argument.
If Harrah's was the one the Pens teamed up, 99% of the people here would be saying that its a good idea to but the casino in an already busy area, rather than clogging up another part of the city.

Couldn't link. What was it?
You may want to get in line just in case IOC does lose
Ok, I was just trying to find your element of suprise. If it was that PITG is not a long shot that everyon thought, I've thought for the last 3 months they were rightup there with the other two plans, and also have had some advantages.
Like you said, and I think too, a delay would hurt the PEns the most. If this is going to be done, get it done today. I really hope the Board takes into consideration not only the people in Pgh's thoughts, but the Pgh Gaming Board recommendation also. Only one more hour until this crap starts. I'm getting very nervous and I don't think I'll get much work done.
Gaming expert from RMU isn't that an oxymoron? You know the old saying those who can do,Those who can't teachpassmaster16 wrote:Ok, I was just trying to find your element of suprise.

I was watching Honsberger's show on PCNC last night. He had a gaming expert from RMU on and the expert seemed to think that FC was the frontrunner with Barden being second. Not sure what his reasoning was for thinking IOC is the long shot.

Since I'm not just a pens robot, I think it is a no brainer to pick IOC for the main reason is it is developing a part of the city that has nothing and that no one goes too. The other plans are good, but why develop places that have seen new development recently and ignore the part that has seen nothing in 40 years. Yes, I want the pens to stay and that causes some bias, but don't preach to us like we are a bunch of idiots.

a lot of talk of the FIX by the media but they have yet to dig up any concrete evidence. If the president can get blown in the oval office and get caught they gotta be able to find something on this.
