You won’t be able to enjoy Smith’s weiner at a Pitt football game (unless you get the tailgate Panther Pack), but at the basketball game you can enjoy the “official hot dog of the University of Pittsburgh.”
The University will be providing “Panther Packs” featuring Smith’s Legendary Natural Casing Wieners to tailgating students prior to every home football game this fall. Smith’s will also be a co-sponsor of the radio and internet broadcasts of the fall games, as well as Coach Dave Wannstedt’s radio program. The agreement includes branding opportunities at the consistently sold out Petersen Athletic Center, as well as “Official Hot Dog” Status, and will be featured at the concession stands. Smith’s will also be a co-sponsor of the radio broadcasts of the men’s and women’s basketball games, … as well as Coach Jamie Dixon’s radio program.
I just caution Coach Wannstedt and Dixon to be very careful about how they pose with the hot dog.
Hebrew National and Nathan’s are famously good, but Smith’s has to be right up there among the best. Should be a big improvement over normal concession stand fare. Smith’s is an Erie based company and they were hard to find outside the local area until recently. A lot of locals rave about them. My dad used to take a cooler full to Florida every year for his retired pals from the local area who craved a good hotdog.
Try it. You’ll like it!
