He went to game game there, once, so he knows better.The average attendance in the SEC is like 77,500 a game. I have no idea how NC State is "middle tier" SEC with a 56k seat stadium.
I’ve gone to plenty of electric atmosphere’s at pitt games the last few yearsYou don't honestly think Pitt's home game atmosphere is similar to VTs......do you?
You realize NC State's stadium holds 57k and VT reported 55k per game last year right? There was absolutely nothing wrong with the Tenn crowd. It's night and day in your own mind.Virginia Tech gets 60,000+ even when they suck. NC State gets 70,000+. Both are legit college atmospheres and very different from Pitt, which struggles to get 40,000 of its own fans even when we're 1-0 and playing a good SEC team. It's night and day.

Literally every point you made in your email was wrong. Now you're on some percent capacity argument, for what reason I have no clue.Oh gee... Only 55k to watch a mediocre team with a lame duck coach instead of 60k? That changes everything.

Here's a 5-year average. Both of those schools are over 92% full. We're 63% full. If you don't think having a stadium that is 30% more empty affects the atmosphere, you're just guzzling the kool-aid. Also, I mentioned other things affecting potential, too: Revenue, recruiting territory, etc.
Good for Pitt for doing more with less. Not sure why this is such a sensitive topic for some of you.
I didn’t think our turnout was great. We were tailgating in the Gold Garage and it was a very late arriving crowd for such a big game and we had about 45k or so fans in the stadium. The visiting side had a lot of TN fans and they were pretty loud.Literally every point you made in your email was wrong. Now you're on some percent capacity argument, for what reason I have no clue.
The topic is sensitive for you and the others who are fixated on attendance. The Tenn crowd was great. Not sure why any Pitt fan would be taking shots at it.

Greater capacity = better environment = better potential for recruiting, which is one of the facets of having higher overall potential. You're fixated on bickering about a couple thousand fans here or there while ignoring the genesis of this argument, which is which programs have the higher potential. I've provided data points on revenue, total attendance, and total capacity. Would you like me to show you what the recruiting looks like in the south vs the north next?
Again, Pitt is realizing its potential at a much higher rate than some of these other schools. Doesn't mean they have more of it.
As for Tennessee... I estimated like 40K Pitt fans and 52K overall. Pitt fans did not "show up" for that game as they should have.
I'm fixated on going to the games, not complaining about attendance. The stadium is too big for Pitt, and there's nothing that can be done about it right now.
Instead of dreaming about potential, you could show me what recruiting actually looks like between NC State, VT and Pitt. Then show me what their records look like over the last 5 -10 years. No need, because I already know.
NC State hasn't won the ACC since 1979. Hell, their older fans still default to them being a basketball school.
Actually, everything you guys were moping about was an affront to Pitt. Just another self loathing thread.Not everything is an affront to Pitt. I know NC State hasn't done jack squat in a long time. That can't just be because they're incompetent?
Ding ding dingActually, everything you guys were moping about was an affront to Pitt. Just another self loathing thread.
NC State has never done anything, which is why it's silly to talk about their potential.

The State fans I know are a very self deprecating lot.Actually, everything you guys were moping about was an affront to Pitt. Just another self loathing thread.

They have a lot of similarities to Pitt fans regarding humor .The State fans I know are a very self deprecating lot.
They have no illusion that they are, or will likely be great.
When Pitt loses, I hear, "We're State fans; we know all about losing."
