Why should they have to sit in frigid temperatures? Are you telling me that at least 98% of the people who hold tickets wouldn't have prefered a 1 PM start? The idea that the (almost) west coast game starts first is absurd.

First of all...its not going to be that much warmer, on a cloudy—snowy January day in Pittsburgh at 1pm as opposed to 6pm. There is no real amount of winter sunshine here.
And Steeler fans are just different. Really...the weather is not an issue. No matter how bitter cold, windy, snowy, or icy the roads and bridges are leading to the North Shore, Heinz Field will be full. The Steeler Nation is not dissed by weather...
