\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDedicated Pitt fans prepared to spend the night on the North Shore to be some of the first on site for ESPN\u2019s College GameDay broadcast Saturday. Pittsburgh\u2019s Action News 4 spoke to fans who spent their Friday afternoon and evening waiting in line on the Great Lawn with their tents and sleeping bags.”It\u2019s cool to see all of these Pitt fans coming out and hanging out, and the vibes have just been great so far,\u201d said Pitt grad student Myles Naylor. At one point, a man handed out pizzas to the crowd and said they were from the Pitt Panthers football team. College GameDay is back in Pittsburgh for the sold-out Pitt vs. Notre Dame game inside Acrisure Stadium. It will be the show\u2019s first broadcast from Pittsburgh since 2022. The parking lots will open at 6 a.m. before the College GameDay pit area opens to fans at 6:30. Student shuttles are set to begin at 5 a.m. One thousand seats are reserved in the Panther Pitt for the first students who pick up their wristband. For many in line, a chance at Plum native Pat McAfee\u2019s field goal kick was the reason for coming out early. “I really want to try and get the kick. You never get this opportunity to try for that lump sum,\u201d said Pitt freshman Lev Rudoren. The first 300 students allowed in the pit will receive a raffle ticket to be picked. College GameDay will be live from 9 a.m. to noon. WTAE\u2019s live coverage will begin at 11 a.m.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
