I’m qualified to answer this question because I’m one of the fans who makes noise every home game and have been doing so for a long time. When fans are in closer proximity to each other, then they are much more inclined to stand and make more noise. That is based on 40 years of attending home games. I also agree with the people saying the optics of the yellow seats magnifies the situation.
There is nothing at all that is magical about tarps that could make what you want to happen happen with them that couldn't be accomplished without them. Pitt could close the upper deck end zone seats for all but the biggest games right now, if they wanted to and thought it would help. It seems pretty clear they don't think it's a big deal. Certainly not as big a deal as way too many fans think.
Go to the games, have a good time, care less about how many other people are there. It's really all you can do.
