University of Pittsburgh Panthers – Aerial and Bird’s Eye View of Heinz Field
September 16th, 2008 at 12:19 pm • Related • Filed Under
In Heinz Field, the Pittsburgh Panthers have one of the finest football stadiums in the country to call home.
- Situated just north of Pittsburgh’s Point State Park, the horseshoe shaped stadium seats 65,000 people and provides a stunning view of the city’s breathtaking skyline and three rivers. Among its amenities are 122 luxury suites.
- Heinz Field has a grass surface that stretches over two acres. One of the interesting features of Heinz’s grass field is its underground heating system. The heating system (24 heat sensors monitor temperature) is activated when the root zone (surface below sod) drops below 60 degrees. Approximately 35 miles of tubing runs in loops underneath the field. This aids in maintenance and growth.
