PITTSBURGH — Athletic Director Allen Greene made a big announcement on Jan. 28 concerning the Acrisure Stadium seating arrangement for the Pitt Panthers' 2026 football season. The decision reduces Acrisure Stadium's capacity by nearly 17,000 seats. The capacity change also moves Acrisure Stadium from the second-largest venue in the ACC to the 10th-largest. It's even smaller than the old Pitt Stadium, which had 56,500 seats. Downsizing a stadium's capacity isn't a foreign concept in college athletics either.
