* The NFL Steelers orgnization, in all its glory in 2006, should purchase Heinz Field and own it. The city and its authority, should sell the facility to the team. The team can own and operate and update the facility. The cost shoud equal the investment into the facility, nothing more and nothing less.
* Pitt's lease to Heinz Field needs to be put online for all to see.
* Pitt's lease to UPMC Sports Performance Center needs to be put online for all to see.
===Wow wish from the P-G===
Outfit Heinz Field with a retractable dome so that Pittsburgh can be a Super Bowl destination instead of just the home of championship teams. And play off that to create a year-round Super Bowl Experience where fans can come and relive the past of all Super Bowls; as part of that, also acknowledge and create a place showcasing the region's rich broadcasting history by creating a sportscasters hall of fame.
* Pittsburgh should have built a better stadium. They didn't build a venue that was good enough. 
:* Years ago, when there was early speculation about the possible building of a new stadium or two, I suggested that the building of a new Steeler Stadium should be such that the venue would be able to HOST a SuperBowl game.
