Heinz Field: House of Haunts for the Hokies

Heinz Field, a stadium so nice that they adorned it with two giant ketchup bottles topping the scoreboard. For whatever reason, playing there has been the Hokies' kryptonite since it opened play in 2001. Coming into that first game at Heinz Field, Virginia Tech had thoroughly dominated the series with the Pittsburgh Panthers, running up a record of 7-1 in the all-time series (with a 30-23 1997 loss the lone blip on the radar). But since that time, the Hokies are a mere 1-6 against the Panthers (the only win a 19-9 victory in Blacksburg in 2013) and more importantly, 0-4 at Heinz Field.
