Hey Steeler fans I am heading to a road preseason game for the first time in my life. I have this lifetime goal to get to all the NFL stadiums and this will be #19.
I usually dont go to many preseason games much less a road game but this will be a special trip as I am bring my best friend who you can see in my avatar who is a big time huge Steeler fan. She was born and raised a PA girl living over by Johnstown. She has been living near South Bend Indiana for many years and is also a big Notre Dame fan.
She has not been back home for many years. About 5 years ago her mother passed away and my friend was in the hospital at the time and was not able to get out to go to her own mothers funeral. She has not been back home to see her mothers grave.
When the football schedule comes out I always look over it to see what road games I can go too and hit any new stadiums and I saw this game and thought of my friend and said lets go to the Steeler game on a long weekend and then also go back to her home town Johnstown and go to her moms grave and see a few old friends. She thought this was a great idea so the plan is set to head to Pittsburgh for the game on the 23rd.
I wish they would have kept the game a night game as that is nicer for this time of year in my opinion damn those Pittsburgh Pirates for getting the Sunday night game on TV lol
We will be getting to town on the Friday night before the game getting a hotel on the east side of Pittsburgh so we are closer to Johnstown.
A few questions to you Steeler fans would be:
1. We want to tailgate before the game and I know the Steeler fans are big into the tailgating but we have no clue where a good parking place may be with good groups of tailgating so if anyone has suggestions on good tailgating spots near the stadium and how many hours ahead the lots open for parking or tailgating would be appreciated.
2, There will be some free time Saturday afternoon and evening and Sunday after the game as we are not heading back home until Monday noon or so. Is there one or two things a person needs to see or do while in Pittsburgh as I have no clue never having been there before.
