City Game To Be An Annual Affair At Consol Center

I had been looking for more information on this and don't recall seeing it. But there was a small mention in the Trib-Review on Friday about the annual City Game against Duquesne.

Star-divide

Jamie Dixon apparently said the teams will play the game annually at the new arena:

Dixon said Pitt will play annual games with Duquesne at the new arena, and he hopes to schedule at least one more each season. "But it's a real challenge (to find an opponent)," he said. "No promises are being made."

I was a little skeptical about this before, but the atmosphere was really great for the last one and I'd not only be in favor of the game being played there each year, I'd love to see Pitt schedule other games there as Dixon suggests they're trying to do.
