[edit] International Hockey League

I took out the reference to the 1904 IHL under the ice hockey section. The link it used was a redirect to some homepage that only had a link itself and a few old photos in relation to Pittsburg(h)'s team. This seems like a good subject to explore, but like I said, the page it was linked to didn't seem like a good enough reference.Exoterrick 20:12, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other edits

I overhauled a bunch of other stuff today. Didn't want to get too in depth since this should just be an overview page, but a lot of the prior stuff seemed kind of boastful, so I wanted to take that out when possible (being that this is supposed to be unbiassed). Feel free to whittle if necessary or correct mistakes. I did have two questions if anyone has answers:

1. I took out the reference to the 1914-15 Pittsburgh Burghers because I assumed they were talking about the Federal League Rebels. Does anyone have anything more about the Burghers? Are they worth mentioning here?

2. What are we pulling the 'swimming pool per capita' statement from? Is there a good source for this?Exoterrick 15:59, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dynamo?

For some reason I seem to be under the impression that Pittsburgh had a (semi-)professional soccer team named "Dynamo" once - is that true? If yes, it should be added to the article. Mabuse 13:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Update: nope, it's a youth soccer team - Never mind. Mabuse 15:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Colts???

Why are the Colts missing from this page?? They're the oldest semi-pro football team in Pgh. --Write On 1983 05:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

There are several teams in the Pittsburgh sports category that need to be added here. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 15:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. And I noticed the Colts page needs work. --Write On 1983 20:13, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
