Why does the PSU fans thrive on attendance? I realize your intent on demeaning Pitt. But, I'm sure there are some positive things going on in the Penn St program that would be a calling card instead. Pitt is not in denial about attendance, they will fill up for the big games such as Penn St, Notre Dame, and WVU, or a conference game of impact. They will sell between 45 and 50k season tix, so the rest are walk-ins or opponent fans. It most likely will only change if they become championship caliber. It is documented that few if any college teams in pro cities sell out consistently. That being said, this Saturday's game should be exciting and competitive. I know my family and I will enjoy it, and hope to enjoy all 4 in the series.
