    Couple observations
    *Steelers fans were 50% of crowd ( conservative estimate)
    *Why do Steelers fans make loud noise at away games when offense is setting up
    *I went to St Elmo’s steakhouse ($$$$). Great meal. Oddly, as my group checked in Tomlin, Cam, Watt, Obinjoby(so?), Queen and Edmonds arrived and had a special room for their meal (arrived at 6 pm and left a little before 8 pm). What the hell happened to NFL teams eating meal together at hotel the night before a game. Seems Tomlin has a special class of players who receive preferential treatment— so much for team unity. B/T/W how are you suppose to play well after eating a large meal the night before.
    *Indy fans are kind of meh. Oddly during one of the breaks in play the video featured fans who brought their babies to the game. There had to be 25-30 babies. W/T/F- I don’t recall ever seeing babies at a Steelers home game.

    We go the other way and send people like jeh. Whenever he's in attendance the average age in the stadium hovers around 137.4.

    I was there. Did not make hardly any noise during the offense on the field. St. Elmo’s is good but Slippery Noodle is more fun. Cowhers kind of place. His picture is on the wall. Who hates babies? I thought it was cute and funny. They did that weird Pee Wee Herman front arm thing a lot. Too much cause it was during every score. Parachuting Tee Shirt giveaways and blimp dropping $10 food vouchers. The only think that stunk there was the score.

    First out of the box, St Elmo’s steakhouse is awesome. I'm also a fan of Ruth's Chriss, DC Prime, Abe & Louie's, and a few others I can't think of right away.
    I can't eat streak like I used to. lol.

    I'm not sure I've seen a team sit around for a dinner since the days when the team afforded a steak dinner the night before games. But I hear there are some that occasionally still go out. I know the last days of training camp and the first rookie payday are tricky times.... every team has traditions.
    I don't know what to read into that.. I 'think' they kind of have migrated to doing so after a big game, maybe?

    I’ve been to a number of rams and raider games in the 80’s and into the 90’s. Don’t recall ever noticing people bringing babies. Must be a 2024 thing.

    We needed somebody to counter the Chiefs and the Swifties. Give it time, the boomers still have some life, not much, but some, lol.

    Just think, if TTF banned babies on this site half of the posts and threads would disappear (no names please). :drinks:

    He’s not going to ban babies

    He won’t even give me a “Dumb Ass” button for me to use when needed instead of face palms

    You can't spell it like you used to either. My apologies to @Formerscribe@Formerscribe for stealing his thunder, our in house grammar expert.

    LOL - "Streak"
    My struggles with the small screen are real. I don't mind the rub... it's fair.

    I hear you. I struggle with big screens - I can't read a Sonic drive-thru menu.
