Oh GET OVER YOURSELF....I haven't been proven wrong...Summersm343 shows the numbers he wants to show to Prop up Philly...And you like the clueless booster you are, buy into it because like him, you can't stand that someone might prefer any city to Pittsburgh.
It's funny, you'll believe summersm343 numbers that because its all Philly Biased...but any Official source that put Pittsburgh over Philadelphia is somehow seriously flawed!!! again You Philly Boosters are Hilarious...Almost like the Tea-Party, you believe what you want to...You have your own sets facts.
So I post numbers from reputable sources, and they are biased to Philly now too?! Sooo all those publications and links about Pittsburgh's population and job numbers were actually posted by someone from Philly to make Pitt look bad? You are so funny. I am posting links, hard core facts, and it is hilarious that you are still arguing them. You are just blabbering nonsense and quoting wikipedia links as facts.
thats like sayin theres plenty of country aspects to nyc cuz theres a buncha midwest transplants here from places like iowa and nebraska...
aint noth wrong wit anyth, all depends who likes what
No, it's like saying there's a country aspect to nyc because of all the blacks who went there from South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. Harlem and Bed-Stuy definitely have black American southern flavor, just like Chinatown and Crown Heights have their own ethnic flavors.
Imagine Philly would have more attendance as it has larger stadiums (Plus a pro hoops team and the Phillies with 81 games and much stronger attendance than the Pirates would seem to be the difference, hockey and football seel out virtually every game in both cities, the Phils did for the last 3 years, this year down to about 90% full). Steelers and Penquins fans are among the best and most loyal in the country. Philly has strong fan bases esp among the Eagles, Phillies and Flyers. Think is shades of grey, both are really strong in sports team support
My uncle is a Eagles fan but a huge Penn State fan first. Since he lives Houston I guess he's now a Texan or an A&M fan. (he didn't read this)

Penn State has a strong following all over PA (Actually even NJ and parts of NYC and DC (many alumni) oddly enough) including both Philly and Pittsburgh but in general the Steelers and Eagles trump college nearer the cities
There is no publication that backs it up. University City has 5 times the population of Oakland, 20,000 more jobs, and more prestigious institutions. How, pretel, is Oakland PA's 3 largest CBD? Because Wikipedia says so? Hahahahahaha. Too funny.
And this
Quote:
It is Pennsylvania's third-largest "Downtown," with only Center City Philadelphia and downtown Pittsburgh able to claim more social and economic activity than Oakland.
It has a daytimeweekdaypopulation of 100,000in
addition to 20,000 residents
Oakland is a metropolis of universities and culture in one residential neighborhood. It is the third largest business district in Pennsylvania, only behind the downtown districts of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
In fact, Oakland is considered to be Pennsylvania's third largest "Downtown." Only Center City Philadelphia and Downtown Pittsburgh can claim more commerce and activity than Oakland.

Please your numbers have been debunked before..... You can always find numbers that point the way you want them to with heavy "caveat-ing" just like I put sources that shows Pittsburgh way ahead of Philly in economic vitality but somehow that unbelievable by Philly Boosters....Shocking
Which city has the best sport fans in attendance and stadiums?
PNC Park over Citizens Bank....Heinz Field over the LINC....Both are in much better location then Philly Stadiums. The CEC to Wells.....CEC is in a better location and its newer.
Both Steelers and Pens have far and away larger fan bases than either the Eagles or Flyers...Steelers and Pens have National and International followings.
Pirates and Phillies.....Phils have a strong base and does have a more recent championship....But I gotta tellya when the Phils aren't winning their true fan base doesn't seem so robust outside of Philly. But I'll give this to Philly, 20 years of losing is just too much to overcome for the Bucs.
Now find me the official publications that state the same of KOP or UCITY....
Umm, am pretty positive I did, while it doesnt make the claim to be third largest it does make the claim to be home to 70 employees, larger than Oakland. Also 70K employees plus 50K students equals 120K.
plus I gave a link to C&W that is very reputable in terms of compiling office space figures. If you shun these then you must also shun your links as they absolutely no less reputable
Oakland and UCity are both large centers, Ucity appears larger based on reputable source (though doesnt make the marketing claim)
Those picks don't even show all of Oakland that's just the West Side from the Cathedral of Learning.....Taller than most buildings in Center City Philadelphia
Haha. I already proved to you that outside of the Cathedral of Learning, UCity has overall taller buildings than Oakland. Also, they have the same number of buildings taller than 200 ft. Also, UCity is building WAYYYYYY more than Oakland, and there are plans for two buildings in UCity taller than The Cathedral, Cira South at 600+ ft and Cira II at 700+ ft. The Cathedral of Learning is the 7th tallest building in Pittsburgh at 535 ft. In Philadelphia, it would be the 14th, just behind City Hall. Pretty impressive for a city that has only had 25 years to build taller than essentially the height of the Cathedral of Learning. Yet Pittsburgh has had 87 years to build taller buildings than Philadelphia and still failed.
Pittsburgh cannot compete with Philadelphia on highrises/skyscrapers... and Pittsburgh had an 87 year head start to build tall since you could not build taller than City Hall in Philadelphia until 1987, and Philadelphia is STILL outshining Pitt in the skyscraper/highrise category.

agree on the locations, stadiums are similar (love the PNC view though). Wells Fargo is superior to the the igloo
