Yes, your arguments are specious, as usual. Overall college football attendance has generally been declining since 2013. I believe 2008 was the all time high in FBS at around 47K average . Attendance has been better at Heinz/Acrisure than it ever was at Pitt Stadium when normalized to wins.
It is all about wins and expectations. Location has little to do with it other than ease of access. Moving back into a hypothetical Pitt Stadium, if that were even possible, would not improve attendance.
