F...for Forbes Field, home of the Pirates and earlier the Steelers when they were named the Pirates. Razed in 1970 to make room for a new law building at Pitt....My brother and I went to the last two games at Forbes Field, a doubleheader against the Cubs which the Bucs swept.

Resources
Graduate students in the writing program are, in many ways, like a writers’ colony. Both within and outside of the classroom, our students tend to create a close and supportive community. In addition to the support that our students provide one another, the Department, the School of Arts and Sciences, and the University of Pittsburgh offer an extensive array of academic, professional, and social opportunities for graduate students and their families.
