Decision to return to Heinz Field for spring game the right decision for Pitt football

After several years at Heinz Field, a high school stadium, and a canceled game in 2014 by Paul Chryst, Pitt held their spring game at Highmark Stadium last season. Despite a full venue, I wasn't a big fan of the decision, you might recall.

This year, Pitt's spring game returns to Heinz Field - and it's the right move.

While I wasn't a fan of the venue, I praised the Panthers for bringing back the game last season. It came after Chryst had canceled the exhibition a year earlier, citing a need to fit in another practice - what I termed a pretty ridiculous reason in the grand scheme of things.
