    Hi all,
    Fan from the westcoast and coming to my first game ever and all set with a travel package. Understanding of the best experience ever to take place!! was wondering how to use up the extra time before or after the game, possibly to engage with players to get a jersey/ball signed or something . Any input is appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Blake.

    Don't know where your seats are, but if you go in when the gates open and go down to the first row while the teams are warming up theres a good chance you'll get lucky. Don't want to take too much time away from your tailgating though! I would definitely recommend you trying out the original Primanti Brothers in the Strip District (the full Yinzer experience).

    Which game will you be attending?

    Enjoy your time in the Burg man!

    Before the game, I highly recommend going to Grille 36. It's the Jerome Bettis bar, not far from Heinz Field. You will have to go EARLY. it gets busy in a hurry. It's a bit pricey but just an incredible atmosphere.

    After a couple hours there, I will go across the road to the AE Stage tailgate. It's free admission with cheap drinks. There's live entertainment and just alot of friendly people to talk with. Usually lots of games to play too.

    Will usually take a stroll through the parking lot tailgate too just to take that in as well.

    There is lots to do around Heinz Field before and after the game.
