The 2 schools will meet in 2023. Duquesne gets a pay-day of $425,000.

Hell, I was excited about Hawaii! I will definitely be going to this game! Also, it makes me think that we need to start using Highmark stadium sooner rather than later!

Is Highmark long enough? Says 100 x 70. I guess you could fit end zones in there but it will be tight.
It would be pretty sweet to play some night games there with that view.

Yes it is. In fact, Clarion is playing their season opener at Highmark. I think it's a no brainer for the Dukes to try to get into the stadium for the future. Maybe play a couple of games next season to see how it goes. Make it a campus event!

Pitt also held its Spring Game in 2017 there. I think it still holds the record for largest attendance there of any event.

On a side note, I love that picture Clarion used of HIghmark on their website
