It has a decent view overlooking the river, but that's about it.  Never been there for a game, I always say I'm going to.

All three of the ultra tiny PA FCS stadiums are in the Pittsburgh area. There's Robert Morris at 3k




...and St Francis at 3.5k

does to opponent's side of the field actually drop off down a fairly step hill as it looks in this pic?

Yeah, sorta. 




Kind of cool how they used the hillside as the stands. Cuts down on construction costs.

Sanford Stadium was built in a gulch also, a creek runs under it.  The original stands are at "ground level" so to speak.
