Judge dismisses suit brought by Pittsburgh United and Northside United

An Allegheny County judge has dismissed an appeal brought by Pittsburgh United and Northside United against the local Stadium Authority (see here). The lawsuit aimed at preventing the authority from selling land between PNC Park and Heniz Field to a hotel developer at an allegedly undervalued price.

The dismissal was based on standing issues, as Judge Joseph M. James found that the groups were not specially injured by the land deal. But the groups disagree with the ruling and have pledged to continue to fight the land sale.
