looks like there are a lot of empty seats at this game. I realize it's cold but I am surprised
Right after the half. Fans still at concessions getting hot chocolate!!
With the current bowl situation more and more we will see made for TV viewership and not attendance.Years ago there were less bowls and featured in warmer climates and we're meaningful. Now things seem to be money grab type events with overall interest becoming less as is attendance. Location is also key....why potentially freeze your butt in NYC etc and pay high hotel and travel $$$ when you can stay home and watch the game when you can leverage the same $$$ in Florida, California Arizona etc now or at some other time of the year.

Seriously, I think the Temp at game time was 16 degrees with a pretty strong wind.
Some fans will sit in some of the worst weather as if it is some "Red Badge of Courage" to watch millionaire players when you can sit home in comfort and have the best coverage on TV..
Most of the fans who had Club Seats were inside watching it on the closed circuit TV.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!
