The Black and Yellow plague

When I was at a tail gate talking with my Uncle I was alarmed to see so

many Steeler Fans. Pittsburg is over 7 hours away by car, IMO people

who are living in charlotte should be supporting the panthers.

What is even more annoying is that all these fans who were near us

were doing this all game:

Getting up to go purchase Beer (obstructing my view / making me have to stand up so they can shamble by) > Coming back to their seats (obstructing my view again)> drinking beer > getting up 20 min later to go to the

bathroom and purchase more beer (obstructing my view again).

The Silliest part was that there were 2 guys who did this who by the 3rd

quater they were so tanked that they got lost and spent part of the

third quater wandering around several sections for 10 minutes and could

not find their seats. Finally they sat down in a section 3 sections to our

right.

I still had fun at the game today, even though the panthers lost.

One thing I think would help is if the CITY took MORE ownership in the team.

In many away cities you see the home city celebrating the team "away" from the stadium. Its a constant reminder of the teams support, and this alone I am sure helps those who live in the city feel like they are a part of the team.

Charlotte could do a better job IMO..

Wow...really?

Just because you live in the city doesn't mean you HAVE to have a loyalty to the teams in the city, or even the state for that matter.

And having to stand up to let people pass is typical...not sure why you're complaining about it. I'm sure it takes you all of 10 seconds to stand up and sit back down.

Get over it.

Its sarcasm about panther fans, I think we are improving. Anyone ever been to Arrowhead stadium? Those fans are vicious, I had a chance to see them play the Bills during the Jim Kelley days on Monday Night Football. I was in the Army at the time and attended the game with a hard core Bills fan, thought we would need a military escort to the parking lot. Final score Chiefs - 35 Bills - 6, experience priceless!

Steelers fans are quite literally all over the country due in large part to the mass exodus of blue collar workers after Pittsburgh's economic collapse decades back. Their fans have a very strong presence almost everywhere they play. I bet a lot of the Steeler fans at that game were actually from the Carolinas or Virginia, etc and not Pittsburgh. Add in that it's the last preseason game and tickets are very easy to come by, and there you go.

The Steelers have one of the most widespread fanbases in the league, they are literally a nation of fans that will go to great lengths to watch Steelers games. Many people criticize them but they're some of the most dedicated fans in all of sports.

Hah! It's easy to be a "dedicated" Steelers fan. They always win. They pick up bandwagon fans every year in every city. That's why they are all over the country.

Maybe the most "overrated" fans in all of sports. I'll buy that.
