Pitt vs. Villanova in Season Opener; Kickoff and Rib Festival in Full Swing (Sat., 9/3/16)

1) The rising Pitt Panthers football team start their season today against the Villanova Wildcats. Returning stars include quarterback Nate Peterman, defensive back—and sometimes running back— Jordan Whitehead, offensive lineman Adam Bisnowaty, defensive lineman Ejuan Price, and returning from beating leukemia last season, running back James Connor. Get down there and cheer on the team, they’ve been working hard. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m. Heinz Field, 100 Art Rooney Ave., North Shore.

2) The Kickoff and Rib Festival at Heinz Field continues today. The festival features some of America’s top rib vendors reflecting the nation’s diverse barbecue tastes. Adding great music to tasty ribs and cold beverages makes a perfect trifecta. Today’s entertainment features Chris Janson at 9 p.m. Free admission to Rib Fest. Noon to 11:00 p.m. Heinz Field, 100 Art Rooney Ave., North Shore.

3) No Bad Juju is a local party band featuring a staggering eight members. This includes two lead vocalists and a horn section, which allows them to replicate the tracks of such beloved jumbo-sized bands as Parliament, Kool and the Gang, and Earth, Wind & Fire. Their set lists also include new hits from the likes of Katy Perry and Adele, as well as a few originals. This evening, they’ll be playing well into the night at Jergel’s Rhythm Grille. 9 p.m. 285 Northgate Dr., Warrendale.
