Pitt announced a strategy Wednesday that will significantly alter the atmosphere and capacity for football games at Acrisure Stadium. Starting this fall, the stadium’s upper east and west sides will be unavailable, reducing capacity from 68,400 to 51,416. At its current capacity, Acrisure Stadium ranks second in the ACC behind Clemson’s Memorial Stadium, which seats 81,500. “Our goal is clear: transform Pitt football into a must-attend event, not just another game on the schedule. For comparison, Pitt Stadium (1925-99) sat 56,500.
