I'm no architect or city planner, but would it be possible to build it our further over Forbes Avenue on that side? 

The short answer is "no" and the longer answer costs so much it might as well be "no"

The Riverhounds soccer team have a similar problem. Their stadium in Station Square is very tightly compact between a train track next to the Mon river and West Carson Street. Originally, if they ever grew out of the stadium size, they could try to build over top W. Carson St. http://www.mlsreserves.com/2013/04/usl-pro-spotlight-week-4.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highmark_Stadium.

But that would cost so much in legal fees, red tape cutting, construction costs etc, that that is no longer a viable option. And that's over a part of the road that's after all the hubbub of Station Square and not nearly as heavily trafficked.

Trying to build over top Forbes? Good luck with that one.

 
Not overtop of Forbes.  Overtop of the stands there like the B deck on the other side.  Not as big of an upper deck but there it room for an upper tier.

Take a look at the plans I just posted with pictures of an upper tier along Forbes.
