Yes I was at the game. He was NOT at the game.
They were photos from "friends" at the game and the photos were from the upper deck 30+ minutes before gametime. Anyone that goes to games knows that there are a LOT of late arriving tailgaters and the true reflection of the attendance is sometime later in the 1Q.
There are literally hundreds of people on this site that went to the game that would attest to the fact there were at least 40k people there for the Pitt game (stadium only seats 64k now).
That doesn't even take into consideration that it was Thanksgiving break and there were probably only 1k students at the game when there are normally 4-5k. Add onto that the lack of Pitt fans in the crowd ... normally 5-10k of visiting fans and there were maybe 1k Pitt fans.
Its tiresome and cliche when other fan bases point out falsehoods regarding attendance issues but its especially pathetic when one of our fans pushes that false narrative.
There is plenty about the current state of the program to ***** about but attendance is currently not one.
Good to hear. I didn't think K9 was misleading anyone, though. In the threads where he posted the photos, he clearly indicated they were taken 30 minutes before the game started. It obviously wasn't that sparse on TV, but the crowd did still look sparse. The crowd also sounded much quieter on TV, the snap cadence claps notwithstanding. That was only the second game this season I didn't make it (UNC on Thursday night was the other, but the rest of my family went). 1, because I personally no longer support MR as HC, and 2, because my family and I decided to spend the time together relaxing rather than travelling back and forth (I live in Jax). We did give our tickets and parking pass away to a family that was extremely happy to enjoy the game and root the Canes on.
Hope you enjoyed it.
