Hi Chuck, yes, I've experienced the youth hockey noise, I think at both locations -- the Airport Holiday Inn where it's been the last several years and back in the Greentree Radisson(?) at the turn of the millennium. I'm not sure if you're referring to any other venues for Pittsburgh in prior years, 2000 in Pittsburgh was my first ABT tourney. And my first ever visit to Pittsburgh for any reason for that matter-- fell in love with the city when I saw that nighttime view from the Georgetown Inn restaurant up on top of the hill during the Saturday night dinner break. :-)
In fact, I think the reason that this year's Pittsburgh Open was not held during its usual time slot in mid-February was because the Holiday Inn was booked pretty heavily with the hockey players again and the hotel wanted a higher rate from Steve during that time frame because they were getting a higher rate from the hockey players.
