Since I am at the home games, I haven't listened on the radio.  When I turned it on to leave, the Steeler Game is on.  I thought it was on 970 AM?  If the Steeler Game is on, then what station can you listen?
Thanks

104.7 HD  So in newer cars the radios have 2 options for a station.  If you tune to 104.7 and then select the HD option you will get the game.  It took me a minute to figure out - prior to that i had no idea what an HD channel was.  and I've never listened to the game this way; I've only caught the postgame after leaving the Coop

Also 970 on IHeart Radio carries the Dukes except that they left the KD interview early for whatever was left of the Steelers broadcast. 
 

I attended the game and could offer a lot of criticism from my brand new seats in the fan corner looking down at Dave Harper sitting in the corner.  And I hope they ask us for things that need to improve at the Cooper because there are many and I could list them.  But I trust that they are learning. 

I also saw a team that is still learning how to play with each other in game action.  I’m not an expert analyst like all of you but everything from Easley’s fumble at the end to Johnson’s timeout (no I don’t think coach didn’t know and no I think Johnson knew - he’s a freshman who panicked) to Williams poor man’s Mike Hughes.

No I didn’t make any predictions for a trip to McKeesport.  Was born there and lived there and still go there sometimes but that’s not the reason (wouldn’t want a trip to Glassport or Port Vue either).

Bottom line:  I am disappointed but didn’t expect to see domination of anything anytime soon.  I still trust Harper.  I still trust Gormley.  Even more, I still trust Dambrot.  I still think he knows exactly what he is doing.

I am a season ticket holder for four years. and I have not received one communication from the ticket office since Covid began. I received nothing about the opening of the Coop back in January and nothing about the recent tour and chance to pick your seats.  Zilch! Nada!

Tejas, likewise

I really thought the Athletic Department had turned the corner and we were beyond this Mickey Mouse/Run on the Cheap/ "We've always done it this way" business as usual kind of stuff. Great strides have been made, true, but this still irritates me! Not one contact!

UPDATE:  I just heard from the ticket office and there was a small technical issue, which was the cause of the email problem!  All is well.  Still disappointed I missed the "Coop Tour" though.
 

Just to be clear, I did not have a chance there to pick a seat. In fact I was told my seat would be assigned. They did provide the opportunity to sign up for season tickets, however.  

After attending yesterday's open house, the Coop will be a great place to watch basketball.  A lot of positives, not the least of which was the staff who were around to talk to. 

Intended to take one of the tours but found it easier to just walk around, latch onto one tour or another when they came near and otherwise just explore.  The photos people have already seen are better than anything I could post so I won't though I took a lot.  Not sure where to begin.

First, there is a lot of the old AJP in the new building.  If you were able to look around when they renovated the coaches offices and workout areas when Ron was coach you would see that.  But overall the place is brighter where it needs to be with much more of an atmosphere of something special. 

There does not appear to be a bad seat in the house.  I have seats in one of the fan corners and I tried each of them out.  May have to do a little leaning in here and there depending on which fan corner seat you have but they should be a great place to watch a game because everything will essentially unfold in front of you.  I was under the assumption that ticket holders would be able to pick their seats but I think mine are assigned.  I asked and was told there would be a separate event for ticket holders later in the year. 

The suites may be the most interesting look.  Seats are obviously high but it's a good look at the court.  Suites seem to have typical amenities for seating, food, etc. that  you might expect and are a decent size. 

Just below the suites is the Club area which will be open to premium seat holders.  However, the size may limit other premium seats like fan corner ticket holders from getting in there as those in the seats in front have first choice.  In front of the club area seating is another premium section (labeled 201 to 205 - didn't see any other designation there).  Again, the view is terrific though the seats in the first row are a bit cramped. 

There is a much l
