Rats --
I agree, even if it was "only" 25 to 30% Pitt fans, that is too much.
However, I also am thrilled that the stadium is selling out -- and that those Cardinal fans who do go-- it seems 90% are wearing some kind of Cardinal gear.
For those of us who have endured the SDS days -- having 50k fans in support of the Cards and wearing red is part of the whole pro football game experience that has been sorely lacking in years past.
Agreed but we still have a long ways to go. More than a few fans in our section were wearing black shirts with the Cards logo on them.
I coulda touched three people from my seat dressed that way. They just don't quite get it yet. They are new fans and they are trying.
Some of us long time fans are trying to help them understand what the game day experience really is.
It seems simple that when we are playing the Steelers you don't wear your black Cardinal shirt because when the camera pans the stadium it looks like more Steeler fans than there really is.
You wouldn't believe how many Cards fans I saw in black Cards gear. Crazy!
