Don't look now, but Pitt's football attendance is on the rise.
No, the Panthers didn't sell out their seats for the 2015 season. And yes, some showings were still somewhat disappointing (see Louisville, North Carolina, and Miami). But in terms of actual ticket sales, Pitt made an impressive jump this year. More specifically, the Panthers had the single greatest rise in attendance from 2014 to 2015 of any P5 program, per a recent report cited by the Post-Gazette.
In 2014, Pitt averaged a little over 43,000 tickets sold per game and that number rose to over 48,000 this year.
