Steelers Nation Needs to Look in the Mirror (Go Pack Go)

Heinz Field....Yes I said Heinz Field, was an embarrassment Sunday night. When the Steelers QB has to use a silent count in Pittsburgh because a bunch of morons with cheese on their heads are chanting (Go Pack Go), that is a huge ****ing problem.

Last night was a disgrace. I'm not even sure you can consider Steelers Nation an elite fan base anymore. Seahwaks fans took over Acrisure as well, and they aren't even known as a fan base that travels well.

 

I'm a little resistant to agree with all that. I was there.
Green Bay is like the Steelers in that they travel very well.
I would have much preferred to look up and see nothing but terrible towels.
Having been to all 32 stadiums (not the newest ones built in the last 5 years) I don't know that I've seen any with just team fans, since the 90's.
But at the same time, winning does solve the issue though not to full 100%, there will always be opposing fans.

 

I was not there. But from the television coverage, it sure looked like the stadium was more than a third Packers fans. I always expect visiting fans. I didn't expect to see a hostile takeover. The fact that so many fans opted to sell their tickets, on what to this point, was the biggest game of the season is telling.

 

I was a bit PO'd seeing green and white. I know Packers travel well as do the Steelers. A lot of Steeler fans are already there. Moved out of Burgh when Steel Mills closed and then raised their offspring to be Steeler fans. My son has never been to Pittsburgh but avid Steeler fan.

I know Eagle season ticket holders and they sell a lot just for the $$$$$$.

 

I mean maybe people have had enough man. Who TF wants to root for MT when it’s the same BS year in year out.

 

I always hope PNC is empty when the Pirates play but they keep supporting an owner who pockets the revenue sharing and then buys triple A players.

 

People just want to see who wins the Sausage and Weiner Race.

 

I agree with you. You almost have to wonder if Art is finally being forced to take notice. The stadium is still sold out, but fans are selling their tickets. Not exactly the fanbase culture the Rooneys are used to.

 

I do see the Steelers are working Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Calvin Austin was bad Sunday....
We need receivers that can get open on those first steps... We have some with a lot of heart, but not much skill.

 

Was he on GB roster when Rodgers played there?

 

yes, 3-years I think.

 

No need. Put a 250% tariff on Steelers fans selling their tickets. No wall required.

 

I would hate this move. Very similar to bringing in Mike Williams last year. MVS was a bit of a one trick pony in his prime. Now he's washed and hasn't been able to stick with a team. The fact that he couldn't contribute in San Fran is telling. All 3 of the 49ers starting receivers are hurt and in 5 games MVS caught 4 passes. On top of that he's often injured. He would just be another piece of scrap on the heap.

 

The only fanbase culture the current Rooney care about is the culture that pays them green $$s.

‘where the $$s come from is irrelevant

 

How was the halftime show?

 

And that hurts him how? Asking for a friend.

 

More of an embarrassment to a once proud organization. It doesn’t hurt him financially. I’m pretty sure he’s got enough money at this point so you would hope him being a joke in his family lineage would hit home.

 

I guess you and maybe a few others are rooting for an individual, the rest of us are rooting for the TEAM!

 

We were away for a wedding so put 4 up on ticket exchange as soon as the schedule was announced. Put em up for 850 each, they sold in 5 minutes, not sure if it was Packer fans, will find out against the colts when I ask the folks that are in our section. But that one gane and the pre-season game, almost pays for half of next years total ticket price. The Steeler Organization will see this happen more and more until the Standard is gone. Pay thousands a year per seat to watch the standard crap we saw against Seattle, at Cincinnatti and now GB and for that matter basically the last 10 years.....my new goal is to sell enough seats at a markup to pay for the next season and Ill go to the rest. Season ticket holder since 91 with a 2 hour+ ride to the game, night games are a lot harder to make than they were 30 years ago anyhow.

My wife roots for Jalapeño Hannah

 

I go to afternoon mid week games and it’s pretty empty but it’s still a nice day out

 

Didn't the same thing happen when Dallas and San Francisco came to town in the last few years.

 

I know that it is easy for me to say as I am not in this position, but if I were, there is no way I would sell my tickets if i couldn't guarantee that Steeler fans would be buying them. I don't understand how any true fan could.

 

They really set the tone with letting Traitorson come out and hype the fans up!!

This organization has been so lost for a decade now…

1) Celebrating players who disrespect the org, coaches, and players.

2) Opposing fans taking over stadium

3) Renegade is useless and being mocked by opposing teams.

4) Players want out and balling on new team.
