The announced number is how many tickets were scanned into the stadium by the ticket takers.
That is absolutely, positively, unequivocally not true.
The announced number is how many tickets were scanned into the stadium by the ticket takers.
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.
Cause of chemo doctors advise me that it wouldn't be a good idea.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.
Hope you are doing better!Cause of chemo doctors advise me that it wouldn't be a good idea.
But next year I'll be there for every game no matter what!!!
I'm a diehard I'll be damn if I miss my PANTHERS next year!!?
Always H2P FOREVER!!!
I was there. Maybe I missed it but I did not hear them announce the attendance.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.
Thank you for askingHope you are doing better!
H2P
BOTTOM LINE!!If you weren’t there, then STFU.
Those of us that were in our seats made as much noise as we could.
Sorry if that offends anyone.
No one is offended or upset because you weren't there, in fact maybe some one moved into your seats and enjoyed the view if you were not able to dump them off. Buying tickets IS supporting Pitt so even if you can't make it all the time you are appreciated.Sorry if that upsets you.
Keep plugging and stay focused on next season for 10 wins.Cause of chemo doctors advise me that it wouldn't be a good idea.

People need to think this through. 46,000 people means that two out of every three seats in the building were full. If we leave the student sections out of this and maybe a couple of the club level sections, let's say we just consider the "regular" seating sections, were there ANY sections in the whole stadium that were 2/3 full? No, of course not. Not even close. In fact none of those sections were even half full. Many (most) weren't even a quarter full.
The number of actual people there yesterday might have started with a "2", but if it didn't it was because it started with a "1", not a "3" or, laughably, a "4".
NCAA allows schools to count attendance by either "Actual Attendance" which is how many fans get into the stadium/game with a ticket or by "Paid Attendance" which is basically tickets sold for that game (it's a little more complicated than that but I'm not going into detail) ..... I suspect Pitt announces "Paid Attendance" which would include ~30,000-35,000 season tickets, 5,000-10,000 student tickets, some visiting fan tickets, and some single game tickets bought, etc. ...... if you don't go to the game but bought a ticket, most count in "Paid Attendance" (there are some tickets bought that don't count unless you attend the game depending on how much they cost compared to the highest paid ticket).Of 46,626. I believe that !
U got this, God Bless You & H2P!!!!Thank you for asking
Igot great news from doctor
Cancer in remission. They want me to continue chemo for 5 more times (2 times a month). They want make sure that there's no microscope cells in body that can cause it to come back
Hope my hair comes back
You got to trust the doctor and believe in GOD.
Always H2P FOREVER!!!
FWIW, the NFL makes teams announce paid attendance now. That shifted last season I think during the middle of the year. Pitt definitely does the same.NCAA allows schools to count attendance by either "Actual Attendance" which is how many fans get into the stadium/game with a ticket or by "Paid Attendance" which is basically tickets sold for that game (it's a little more complicated than that but I'm not going into detail) .....

Downsize and get the cameras facing the home side.FWIW, the NFL makes teams announce paid attendance now. That shifted last season I think during the middle of the year. Pitt definitely does the same.
I know they're firmly against tarps, but downsizing the stadium would be pretty cool. I'm all for putting more students in the lower level and compacting the season tickets on the visitors side. There are too many empty seats over there, get the students around the corner for a few extra sections.
The first is realistic, the second isn't.Downsize and get the cameras facing the home side.
