My sister and brother-in-law, Steeler fans from Northeastern PA, planned a trip out to visit while their team was in town to play the Cardinals. They’ve been out to visit on several occasions and even had the opportunity to see the 49ers, Eagles, and Steelers play here in the past. With the Cardinals in a rebuilding year led by a new coach and rookie QB, … Continue reading Heinz Field West!
The Steelers certainly endured some drama last year. First with Le’Veon Bell sitting out the year, then Antonio Brown airing his grievances in public. With all of the issues, the Steelers were held out of the Playoffs for the first time in six years. Can they rebound this year without two of their star players?

While a victory in the Rose Bowl would have capped off an already storybook season, I feel as though the loss strengthened the team’s resolve to improve and come back even more committed to excellence. The Lions started the 2017 campaign 2-0, defeating MAC opponent Akron … Continue reading Penn State and the Steel City!
Next up are the Steelers. Based on my quick review of their schedule, I’m guessing they will have one of the shortest travel seasons in the NFL. The furthest they travel from Western PA is Jacksonville. So, if you live out west, you’ll have to waste a travel day to see them. And with them being fairly isolated, there won’t be many options to parlay … Continue reading Wandering with the Steelers!
