<p>Varsity sports are pretty huge. Tickets to basketball games are a premium, and the “Oakland Zoo” student section is nationally known for its raucuous support of the team. The Petersen Events Center is beautiful and includes an enormous state-of-the-art gym for students. The football team is also excellent, and although it has struggled the past several years, coach Wannstedt has had the #21 and #9 draft classes the past two years. The wrestling, track, swimming, and ultimate frisbee teams have been nationally ranked. The baseball, softball, gymnastics, soccer, and tennis teams are also excellent. The hockey team just joined Division I and had a great season. Most of the athletic facilities, including the intramural fields, are on the upper campus. Over the next four years, Pitt will be spending $35 million to build a new soccer complex, track/intramural complex, softball field, marching band facility and baseball complex and to renovate the existing facilities.</p>
