To be fair, Steelers games look like that for usually about the first quarter too. People busy tailgating. Though Pitt will be lucky if they're at half capacity for a game like Pitt when they play WVU next week. Cincinnati probably kills them.Just turned on the Cincinnati vs sPitt game. The stadium is only about 35% full with a bunch being Cincy fans.
Isn't PITT playing @ WVU next week? If so, WVU will probably have a sell out.To be fair, Steelers games look like that for usually about the first quarter too. People busy tailgating.

Yeah they'll travel down there for that more than to Pittsburgh especially with the Steelers playing tomorrowIsn't PITT playing @ WVU next week? If so, WVU will probably have a sell out.
An understatement. This is why many of the major powers have been able to pull bigtime HS players out of that area. Just not a college town - very weak support for the CanesTheir fan support is weak.
Just look at Miami’s tv ratings. Just pathetic.An understatement. This is why many of the major powers have been able to pull bigtime HS players out of that area. Just not a college town - very weak support for the Canes
Their fan support is weak.
Lived in the area 10 years. They have no fans. Typical attendance for all games except; FSU, PSU, ND and the like was about 30,000.Just sent a text to my buddy saying same thing. What happened to the U fans? Been 2/3 years like this. Not sure who draws less fans Pitt or the U.
I was at the Pitt Cincy game. My wife and I were down there for the weekend, got cheap tickets, and went to have a laugh at Pitts expense.Just turned on the Cincinnati vs sPitt game. The stadium is only about 35% full with a bunch being Cincy fans.
That area is so odd. There are so many good players amd teams out of that area that you could probably field a Top 25 team just on those players alone.An understatement.

I don't know if it's the constant nice weather and beaches or what. I doubt I'd go to a game if I could just roll to a beach.
Isnt the beaach there every day though. Football games are like 6 or 7 Saturdays a year.That area is so odd. There are so many good players amd teams out of that area that you could probably field a Top 25 team just on those players alone.

I've been in Ft Lauderdale in August. Any time you left the beach area, it was unbearable for me. And I mean the immediate beach. I was still walking through sand when it hit.Isnt the beaach there every day though. Football games are like 6 or 7 Saturdays a year.
The sun could be a big deterrent. Florida sun is scorching and not healthy to sit in.
Same conditions in Gainesville and Tallahassee but they have real fans who show up.I've been in Ft Lauderdale in August. Any time you left the beach area, it was unbearable for me. And I mean the immediate beach. I was still walking through sand when it hit.
I'd imagine sitting in a stadium that blocks any breeze would be horrible.
Attendance has always been a problem even in the glory orange bowl days.Randy Shannon and Al Golden destroyed that program or at least created apathy around it. They're a shell of what they were and it's hard to get that back. Ask Texas.
Comparing apples to oranges. You are talking large schools with 3 times the enrollment playing at on campus stadiums to a small school who home stadium is 21 miles a way and a 40 minute drive.Same conditions in Gainesville and Tallahassee but they have real fans who show up.
Do all the ACC schools have no fan support or is it just Miami and the pitters?
That sounds like Attendance was about 30,000 - 35,000.I was at the Pitt Cincy game. My wife and I were down there for the weekend, got cheap tickets, and went to have a laugh at Pitts expense.
Below is my estimate of what the attendance was. Our seats were on the 25, Cincy sideline, lower bowl, on the jumbotron side. Below is my estimate from what I could see.
I'd say lower bowl is 2/3 full, outside of the student section, which is full. Upper decks I'd say 1/3 or so full.
It was nowhere near capacity but especially lower bowl much more people in seats than empty ones. The majority of cincy fans were a couple sections away in one of the endzone corners from my view.
UVA football is just a distraction until hoops season. If we ever play them there we will have more than half the fans. Maybe the case in '01, not sure.I remember in the 90s when UVA was 25Kish big. The Welsh years were kind to them. Big donor paid to refurbish the stadium into the 50Kish range. They were drawing near that into the Groh era, but I believe that it has since dropped down depending on quality of the team.
Still a fact. MIAMI DOES NOT HAR A LOT OF FANS. 2+ Million people within 20 miles.Comparing apples to oranges. You are talking large schools with 3 times the enrollment playing at on campus stadiums to a small school who home stadium is 21 miles a way and a 40 minute drive.
