Should have used PNC or even where Pitt plays football. They will only have maybe 10 days top, to set up the rink and take it down, maybe even just 7 days, if the Steelers are scheduled in the last game of the season or a playoff game.
That being said, it should have been in Minnesota this year.

I'm from Pittsburgh and I did NOT want the Winter Classic here at all.
For one thing, we've already been in one and other teams/cities should get the chance. Another thing is that there is no guarantee that it'll be all that cold on New Years Day in Pittsburgh. 25 years ago, you could count on it, but not anymore. The ice could be a problem. Thirdly, we are opening our brand new CONSOL Energy Center next season. I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not, but I'd prefer to have our new arena hosting the Frozen Four college hockey tournament and/or NHL All Star games instead.
I've been to both stadiums and I was thinking that the fans would be close er to the action at PNC.
When I saw the Steelers play, I'll grant you that I didn't have the best seats, but my impression was that you'd either be very far away from the ice or have a bad sight line.
Oh well, my opinion doesn't matter... it's going to be Heinz.
