What Pittsburgh has when it comes to teams, especially Steeler fans, is fantastic people. I lived in New York most of my life, and when I came here, I was amazed at how football brought people together. This town is the most amazing football city, and I don't think you can appreciate it unless you've lived somewhere else. The black and gold binds people together, crossing ethnic, income, and social standing barriers. I'm sorry when football season ends, but thank God it comes around every year! :-)
It's true. My cousin came to Pittsburgh a few years ago to see a Pearl Jam concert. She was baffled that after the concert, the entire crowd evidently started the "here we go, Steelers" chant -- especially since it was in the spring, during basketball season. :)
Ask anyone in any other NFL city and ask them what fans from the opposing team come to their city the most. I remember away games where the Steeler fans outnumbered the home team fans.
