    The best Steeler Game I have ever been to was by far The Steelers Playoff game against the Ravens in 2008. I have been to two Steelers Superbowls and they didn’t compare to this game. It was are arch rival, the hype leading up to the game, the tenacity of the game with all of the hard hits - Ryan Clark on Magahee and the Limas Sneed Block. Finally the Troy interception for a TD to seal the game. I can remember a Ravens fan getting in the face of a Steelers fan during the game and they first had words then it turned into a stare down at which point the Steelers guy just grabbed the Ravens guy by the cheeks and kissed him. The Ravens guy was in shock. He just sheepishly tuned around and sat down. By far one of their best wins ever.

    Seeing how I've only been to exhibition games since 1969 and we won both so those are my best. Now from 1964 to 1968 I saw them lose and lose again:( I use to deliver a paper called The Pittsburgh Press (guessing all gone) and I was a good little paperboy and with the help of my stretch the truth older sister I would win 2 tickets to Steeler games by getting 5 new customers. I'm glad my sister didn't choose a life of crime because she was really good at forging addresses. Maybe went to 4-5 games and pretty sure they never won.

    To OP, that 2008 Raven game was awesome!!

    I've only been to two. One was in Cincinnati and they lost. That was not a fun game to be at.

    So my best game was in Pittsburgh when Duck beat the Browns.

    Nov 7, 2004 Steelers 27 Eagles 3 buy tickets off a scalper and our seats end up near the top of the stadium and can't get down the steps LOL

    But it was well worth it.

    I was at the playoff won against the Chargers in 2008 so that was pretty cool but by far it was the last ever game in Three Rivers. They paraded a bunch of current and former players around the stadium and I happened to be sitting in the front row. Viewing during the actual game was terrible but what happened after the game was awesome!

    I was at 2008 Ravens, but so many more great games I forget them all.

    A few notable ones are:

    When Ben beat Packers with throw to Mike Wallace with no time left.

    Snow game against Chargers where Troy finger tipped that int.

    Ben’s final home game against Browns.

    2008 AFC Championship game at Heinz. The Troy pick was magical! Sent the crows packing and on to the Super Bowl.

    I’ve only been to two regular season Steelers games. One was the 2006 loss to the Bengals. The other (and best) was the incredible 2016 Christmas night win over the Ravens.

    Antonio Brown made a great play to score the the winning TD which secured the AFC North.

    Today vs Jacksonville. Between the weather and the Steelers play it was truly magical.

    I also went to this game, flying in from Vermont on Saturday and flying back on Monday. Unforgettable experience. I sat in the closed end zone which is where I have also sat several other times. The interception came right at me.

    It was cold before the game- I was shivering while watching the Eagles/Cardinals early game. It was not cold after the game. I parked my rental at Station Square and took the boat in and back. The feeling walking out of the stadium after the game was the best.

    Best game I was too, was the Steelers/Packers regular season game. Ben found Mike Wallace in the corner of the endzone for the win with only a few seconds left on the clock.

    One of the greatest games for me. My family invited Eagle fans over for the game. Sisters made a half Steeler and half Eagle cake. That is the game where our punter never got on the field. (I believe) Midway through the 3rd quarter the Eagle fans started filing out.

    I was section 105 Row L for that game. What a fun atmosphere. One of the best games I was at me and my buddy had flight benefits back in 1989 or so and he called me up at 7am Sunday morning and said what are you doing? I said sleeping. He said get up flights were open and tickets were available for the Pontiac Silverdome. Was at the airport within an hour and rented a car to see the Steelers Vs Detroit. After the game my friend was being denied boarding the plane due to his alcohol inability to shut up after the win. I told them without us building engines they wouldn’t be flying. They eventually let us on but in this day and age no way were we coming back that evening.
