PITT 38 LOUISVILLE 21
BEE-LEE DAT!
H2P!
There were more fans inside the Champions Club than in seats. Nice atmosphere in there for those not wanting to sit in rain. Counts with attendance but not observable outside.
Last night was understandable. But I never understand how on nice game days people buy tickets and just sit in the club section inside the whole time!
The crowd was in the 25k range but was very loud.
15K, maybe 20K. I counted the upper deck endzone but then stopped. Less than 200 up there. They are right for closing that section.
Panther Pitt showed up again. Looked pretty cool with all the blue ponchos at the beginning of the game. Unfortunately it was half empty after halftime
Thought the same thing with the club. Went in to get beer and inside was packed watching it on the tvs. I’d just stay home then if you are going to do that.

Not sure what the actual attendance was at the game, but I can guarantee you that it was at least half of the 46,000 or so that Pitt announced. We spent the commercial breaks counting the actual number of people in the seats on the other side of the field and there were not that many.
If you weren’t there, then STFU.
Those of us that were in our seats made as much noise as we could.

There is no way on God's earth that 46K tickets were scanned yesterday. I have a hard time believing that 46K tickets were even sold.
And no, I didn't go. It was just too miserable. Sorry if that offends anyone.
Anyhow, I don't know why they even bother to announce an attendance. All it does is bring ridicule upon themselves. Most of the announced numbers are total nonsense.
So you have no idea how many people were there and are part of the problem. The people who don’t show up are why Pitt is ridiculed.
No, that is not correct. The ridicule comes from when I (and apparently many others) are counted as actually being there, and we aren't.
I think all schools exaggerate attendance to some extent. PSU surely doesn't get 107K every day, and neither does Michigan. But some of the numbers that get announced here aren't even within 2 standard deviations. A while ago I was at a game against, I think, Syracuse, and there might have been 17K there. They announced 38K. I mean, come on.
Its fairly easy to estimate attendance. The lower bowl seats about 30K. You could have fit everyone in the lowe bowl easily. 15K-20K. There were only 200 people in the upper deck endzone and about 1000 in the away side upper deck. A crowd of 46K means the lower bowl and home upper deck were close to 100% full.
Everyone makes up numbers. At PSU, they paint the numbers on the bleachers 18 inches apart so when someone doesnt show up, you just use that space to spread out a bit more. If PSU only had 50K show up, it would look 100% full.
1) The student section was good.
2) A bunch of people left their seats at halftime.
3) The people who stayed and made noise throughout are the true fans.
My boy and I are both horse from screaming our lungs out. We had the time of our lives. Pitt is a football school!
The large swaths of yellow seats are why Pitt is mocked. First and foremost. Pitt fans like you who makes excuses are THE problem. Show up and support the program.
Dude, I show up plenty. If the weather sucks, like it did yesterday, I will use my own discretion. Sorry if that upsets you.
Cool story. Then enjoy the win and keep quiet about the attendance if you weren’t there.
Last night was going to have a low attendance regardless of anything else. For the typical game, the empty yellow seats is self imposed since Pitt refuses to appropriately downsize the stadium. Considering they don’t, they must not care much about empty seats.
Me too, I was there, it was absolutely packed, the students bring it. I hate how the camera is on the other side of the field. Honestly, my wife kept asking to move to the other side cause we were shoehorned in.
Great energy from the crowd too! Honestly, was quite proud of the fans
Pitt Stadium sat 56,500 and had large swaths of empty seats. I agree with you that they should downsize Acrisure, but the biggest issue is this fair weather fanbase. We only have 6 home games.
That is fine. Just saying they didnt scan 46K tickets. 15K-20K
I’m in the stands to watch the game. Section 134. I can’t see the upper deck behind me from my vantage point. Where do you sit?
I’m in 135…just turn your head around and look up
Admittedly, I tried to sell my tickets for yesterday but since no one would buy them , I went. Had a great time. I’d say 22k there, student area packed to start the game, all fans who stayed were as loud as can be, the stupid TV camera guy blocking the view on the home sideline is ridiculous.
They were scanning each ticket three times then.
You cannot see the entire upper deck when you are in my seats. We are too high up in the section. Feel free to come over and say hi. We have 4 seats on the aisle and we are all making noise. I’m the one banging the seats loudly.I’m in 135…just turn your head around and look up

Going into yesterday, Penn State was leading the country in per game attendance, 110,051 (3% above capacity) to Michigan's 109,669 (2% above capacity).
There is no way that 46k souls scanned their tickets on a rainy night and then vanished Into the darkness. Just as improbable: 25k people standing at the gates scanning every ticket they owned, even the unused ones. This is Pitt doing Pitt Math 101. It was so miserable the lantern flies skipped out.
Somebody call the Centre County Fire Marshal. But then, he would no doubt continue that fine Penn State tradition and look the other way….
