Tennessee fans are having their presence felt in Pittsburgh. Ahead of Saturday’s clash between No. 17 Pittsburgh and No. 24 Tennessee, plenty of Volunteers fans have arrived in the Steel City.
At Friday night’s game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals, multiple Vols chants broke out at PNC Park. Grant Ramey of 247Sports captured a brief video. His colleague, Wes Rucker, added some commentary.

Hahaha. The PNC PA is replying in kind. Just played Sweet Home Alabama heading into the top of the fifth (while showing Tennessee fans on the screen).
Well played. https://t.co/USuIg5jveW

Saturday’s “Johnny Majors Classic” is set for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on ABC. After Friday night’s showing at the Pirates game, it will certainly be interesting to see just how much orange is in the stands at Acrisure Stadium.
