  Any Pitt or West Virginia fan who hoped to catch a glimpse of this fall's Backyard Brawl at Acrisure Stadium but had not yet secured tickets better start making other plans. As of Friday morning, Pitt announced that all tickets to the highly anticipated season opener on Sept. 1 had sold out. Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi indicated to reporters on Friday that tickets sold out "about 15 minutes" after they became available. In response to the high demand, Pitt athletics began selling a limited number of standing-room only tickets at 10 a.m. Friday.

The SRO tickets were priced at $125 each, with sales limited to two tickets per customer. A Pitt spokesperson said the SRO tickets sold out in less than five minutes. "It just erupted, which we know - we kind of felt that was going to happen," Narduzzi said. Pitt already holds the record for most tickets sold for a game at Acrisure Stadium, with the 69,983 tickets sold for the Panthers' 42-39 win vs. Penn State on Sept. 10, 2016, outnumbering every Steelers game ever played at the stadium. Narduzzi said he hopes the renewal of another historic rivalry will be enough to rewrite the record book in terms of fan attendance - and possibly even surpass 70,000 fans for the first time ever. "We know we've got the largest crowd in Acrisure Stadium history, so we hope to break that record, too," Narduzzi said. - Pittsburgh Post Gazette
