For the second consecutive season, the Pitt football team is putting together an impressive display of ticket sales for a bowl game. On Thursday, it was reported that the program's initial allotment for the Pinstripe Bowl against Northwestern has completely sold out.
That allotment was for a little more than 7,000 tickets and is very impressive by most standards considering the bowl. Last year, the Panthers sold out their first allotment as well for the Military Bowl.
As I said earlier, there are reasons to both like and dislike Pitt's bowl destination. The biggest positive in the New York bowl game is, by far, the location for people wanting to attend.
