Was reading an article in yesterdays paper from a guy in Pheonix and he said that he stood in the middle of downtown Phoenix and saw one red shirt per few hundred people. He said that if you stood in downtown Pittsburgh, one in eight had on black and gold.
Steelers aren't just a football team, they are a way of life!
You would have to look long and hard for a man or woman who doesn't own some kind of Steeler shirt.
