Today's attendance guesses?

[mbe 34]

38K - they will announce 45K

Nice weather - hardly a marquee opponent.
Not a bad star time.

 

[Piranha]

53k

What Piranha said. Great weather, great story in seeing Conner and JJSmith return.

 

[OmarLittle]

about 50k slightly more.

prediction, an aerial view an hour and a half before kickoff will be screengrabbed by a wvu or penn state fan and circulated to prove they fill up heinz.

 

[dmaccallum]

53k

53,864

 

[Burgh15]

45-48K is what I expect. I would hope around 52-55k given the Ribfest and perfect weather for kickoff weekend.

45K

If we had nearly 50K for the YSU opener last year, then I'm going to say at least 55K, maybe pushing 60K. I know I read somewhere that they've sold 63K tickets for this game, which is pretty nice.

 

[jtbuba]

63k

 

[Panthergrowl13]

52,000 fans

Pitt students usually attend this one and fill up all their sections including upper decks.

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

Barnes laid down the gauntlet when he said over 60000 tickets are out there for this game (implying close to that total for attendance)

 

[UPitt '89]

I'm at the game.

53-55K here.

Which means about 15k PSU fans next week, tops.
