This is what Pitt calls 50k attendance.

And for all I've read about Pitt's vaunted running game, they ran for 86 yards and 2.5 ypc against a 1-aa school. Conner averaged 3.1 ypc.

I'm so scared, someone hold me.

 

[Thorndike2012]

They didn't want to give PSU a full offense to scheme for. They only ran the most basic plays.

And still won their 99th National Championship yesterday!

How many of those empty seats were held by Penn State fans who bought a season ticket and threw them away except for the game on Saturday? We'll see then.

Pitt fans claim it really filled out after the game started...I doubt that is close to the truth but if it is I will ask why? You have James Conner coming back from cancer and you couldn't put down your Miller lite to get in the stadium on time?

Pitt. Lololol.

I want to Pitt to estimate the size of my manroot. The ladies will think I am Ron Jeremy Jr.

 

[TN Lion]

That does look like 50,000 if it was a stadium with a capacity of 300,000.

Good god, man!! What is wrong with you?? Miller Lite?? No self respecting Yinzer would be could dead without an IC Light or a good ole Ahrn City, assuming they still make that swill.

I was at an event on Friday night and was shocked to hear how many PSU fans bought Pitt season tickets (for less than my mandatory "donation") just for tickets for Saturday and are dropping the rest on stubhub for $5 each (going rate??)

I heard they also include the upper deck seating at Beaver Stadium

since it IS practically in Pittsburgh

That stadium only holds what 68,000 when packed? They'd be lucky if it was around 30,000 looking at that pic.

 

[UncleRoyBiggins]

50K? Were they counting the empty seats, or the people in them?

I did the same a few years ago for PSU-Boston College tickets, and sold the balance at the stadium before the game.

It did actually fill in after the game started. I have no idea why this was, as I wasn't at the game, but from what I saw on the broadcast and Twitter, it got to the point where almost all of the lower bowl was filled and then a lot of the upper deck was as well.

It also emptied out after halftime because the sun was hitting down pretty hard and the weather was very hot (from what I've heard), and there was thousands of people sitting down in the Great Hall and the other new plaza sections in the concourse watching the game. There were also some that switched seats into some shade, but that will not be an option next week with how packed it's going to be.

50,000 was pretty good for a Pitt-Villanova game.

Pitt...the most supported second quarter team in the nation!

Sounds like the whole town is excited for sPitt Football. That will last exactly one more week.

Why is everyone wearing mustard yellow?

Apparently they're all standing in the concourse because it was too hot...it never gets that hot in the opera.

Or Iron-$hitty as they call it everywhere else in Western PA outside of Pittsburgh.

In the 1960s, Horlachers solf 5 16oz Carling Black label beers tor $1.00. It was a cheap yet setvicable Canadian beer.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

I watched on ESPN.com and I didn't see the stadium fill up or get anywhere near 50,000.
Heinz Field capacity is 65,000 - there were at least 25-30k empty seats at best.

Yeah, Nobody in the "Burg" ever referred to it as that!

Yeah, but most of the town is us.

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

I still don't understand why 90% of the fans wore the exact same mustard-yellow outfits to the game? Was ASWP hosting a "Mustard-Yellow Out" or something?

 

[broey1]

An inconvenient truth: they have 50,000 season ticket holders. All the Pitt season ticket holders were there yesterday, the Penn State season ticket holders were not. Look at that picture and imagine all those yellow seats suddenly a fan wearing white & that's what the crowd will look like next week.

Ha... so there were 50,000 at the game, but according to Twitter they arrived late and left before halftime. Classic.

[PSUriseANDfire]

Their/not theirs but Steelers Heinz will be filled next week and the next time it will be filled is during the next eight meaningful games in Pittsburgh, Steelers games.

You're welcome for the contribution.

 

[tboyer]

Yellow seat colored sweatshirts must be getting really popular. Makes it hard to see all their fans though.

 

[john4psu]

Even on the Liar there are Pitters who said it was more like 40,000. The rest lie to try and save face and the embarrassment regarding their program's lack of support on a beautiful fall day with a RibFest and a Pirate game to go to afterwards if they wanted to spend more time in town. Truly Pittethic.
