Stadium Review
Pittsburgh Steelers Stadium - A Cold Night in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA was to be our first stop on a journey to visit four stadiums in ten days including Jacksonville, Tampa, & Atlanta.  My friend Jeremy and I were set for a road trip that would take us down south to warmer weather after spending one blisteringly cold evening in Pittsburgh.  The defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers were facing an up and coming Cleveland Browns team on a bitter cold Pittsburgh evening ... and let me tell ya, it was bloody cold my friends.  Seated in Section 539, we were greeted by the warmth of the Pittsburgh natives, who welcomed us with open arms as we were dressed in the garb of a true Steel-Town legend, Linebacking great, Greg Lloyd.  My fantasy football life was on the line as I was there to scout "Fast" Willie Parker, my fantasy football running back who I had started earlier that evening.  "Fast" Willie did not disappoint either as he posted a 223 yard, Pittsburgh Steeler franchise record performance, for my team, "The Danger Zone".  The Pittsburgh Steelers ran all over Cleveland that night as their once dominant running attack returned to form. 

Stadium Parking directly adjacent to Heinz Field is Pre-pay only, but fans can find parking around Heinz Field in private lots for $25.  We actually didn't see a whole lot of game day tailgating in the lots, but the bitter cold of the wintry night and 8pm game-time may have deterred the diehards.  If you're going to a game at Heinz Field, the obvious accessory of choice is a  Pittsburgh Steeler Terrible Towel.  These can be purchased at the Stadium giftshop for a mere $8 per towel (a bargain price if you ask me), but come game time, when the cools kids are swinging their towels overhead like a medieval spiked ball and chain, you're gonna want to jump on the band wagon.  The Terrible Towel wavers put on an awesome display as 64,000 fans swing their towels in unison, willing their Steeler Franchise on to a much deserved win. Great Facility, Great Fans, Great win!  I shall return!

The Food - Sandwiches by Primanti Bros
Hometown fans swear by the sandwiches prepared by the Primanti Bros ... definitely a staple of the area and thankfully available within the comfortable confines of Heinz Field.  I highly recommend the "Pitts-Burger" or Capicola & Cheese sandwiches which can be purchased from Primanti Bros. for $6 each.  The "Pitts-Burger" is a hamburger patty served with fires and coleslaw inside the sandwich which are all slapped between two fine slices of italian bread.  The Capicola & Cheese is the same sandwich except that it's prepared with Capicola instead of the Hamburger Patty.  I thoroughly enjoyed the fries and slaw in my sandwich rather than on the side, which is how the sandwich is served.  Hot Sauce with either sandwich is a must.

Getting to the Stadium:

Definitely plan on staying in the downtown area if you're going to Heinz Field for a Steelers game.  There's lots to see and do.  The Springhill Suites by Marriott is a great hotel that's centrally located and within walking distance to Heinz Field.

  Will be in the Burgh in late October...are there many scalpers outside the stadium on game day? Internet prices look quite inflated at this time. Thanks!

Generally, you're going to find scalpers outside Heinz Field on gameday, but if I were you and I was flying in from North Dakota to watch my Steelers play, I'd be damn sure I had tickets in hand before heading down there ... but that's just me.

  we are coming out to heinz for our first game all the way from AZ in Dec! cant wait to finally see our boys play! was wondering if anyone had a row seating chart or knew how far back row B is on section 133? Thank you!

Hey Claudia, sounds like you've got some amazing seats.  Prepare yourself for a high-energy crowd and some great tailgating in and around Heinz Field.  I made it to AZ last year ... great place for a football game.
