GhostofSparta Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 So does anybody know when tickets go on sale? I knew the schedule had to be released first, but how long until teams send out tickets to season holders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I can't wait to see the "invasion". It's going to be hilarious when the skins show up with maybe 1000 fans. Oh, great. A Steelers fan living in Eastern North Carolina. Boy, you sure are a pleasant and rare bunch. I sure as hell don't get sick of seeing that around here.

Steel Cross Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Good luck with your "invasion." Unlike Skins fans, Steelers fans won't sell their tickets en masse. You'll be lucky to have 500 Redskins fans in Heinz. Heck, I'm not sure that there are 500 Redskins fans in total. The Skins fanbase is vanishingly small even in its own turf. They closed the Fair Oaks Redskins store in Fairfax(a mere 15 miles from D.C.) due to lack of business . I've seen plenty of comments denigrating the Pittsburgh area. This is surprising, considering that, with the exception of Georgetown and Eastern Market, D.C. is a terrible place to live. D.C. area dumps like Anacostia make the worst parts of Pittsburgh look like heaven. True, many people (myself included) have moved to the D.C. area for work. D.C. is recession proof thanks to the federal teat. The sad fact is that the Redskins are probably the fourth most popular team in their own home turf (behind the Steelers, Ravens, and Cowboys). You'll be lucky to invade Fed Ex, let alone Heinz. You better pray to god that RG3 is everything he's being out to be, or you're going to be irrelevant for another 15 years.

Steel Cross Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Actually, Steeler fans are huge wagon jumpers. Before the 15-1, rookie season of Big Ben, they were all in hiding, then they started showing their heads, not even able to name 6 players on their team. The next year they win the super bowl and these so called fans start wearing jerseys etc; I PROMISE you, the Steeler fans around here in PA are definitely NOT true fans. I wear a Skins Jersey to work every Friday and Monday, win or lose. All the Steeler fans at work only wear their jersey if they win. They are anything but loyal, at least around here. You're delusional. I guess it makes you feel better to blatantly make things up. So the Steelers fans abandoned the team in 2003, even though they had been to the divisional round of the playoffs in 2002 and in the AFC Championship game in 2001? Right. The Steelers fans didn't abandon the team in the 80s. They certainly didn't abandon the team after one down year in 2003. You sound like one of those obnoxious anti-homers who hates the home team just to stir up trouble and who has a giant chip on his shoulder as a result. Steelers fans in the D.C. area with roots in the Pittsburgh are Steeler fans by heritage. Redskins fans in the Pittsburgh area are inexplicable (unless they have roots in the D.C. area). I don't have a problem with the Redskins or their fans (other than their blatantly racist name and mascot) in general, but I'm genuinely amused by the tough anti-Pittsburgh talk in the thread. It smacks of jealousy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your upset because we pointed out that your city could win a dozen lombardis and you'd still be the blight of the east coast? You understand that your football team is so popular because you can get as wasted as you want on Sunday and nobody has to worry about being at work on Monday right? In fact, you live in the recession proof DMV instead of the Pitt because YOU need to come here to find a job?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! And you came into a Skins board to troll? You are hysterical dude. Here let me spell it out for you again chief - You shouldn't be offended by people here pointing out that pittsburgh is dying- after all YOU left that hole in the ground to come to a town that can sustain itself (and you as well apparently). In other words YOU prove that Pitt is a hole in the ground and anyone who would like to support themselves or their family need to get out of there to a real town. Now shut up and go play on a Steelers board before we send you back to the "steel city" which I think is actually now somewhere in China. And before you start taking shots at a town that is supported by the United States of America, try not to forget that if you guys didn't sell enough ketchup you'd not only have to sell your football tickets, you'd have to sell your homes too. Enjoy our town, enjoy the job our town gives you, enjoy the living our town provides for your family (the one you had to leave the pitt for) and just try saying thank you.

Our tax money is already here, so we might as well come and line up at the trough with you native Virginians. You're right about the not being a rival part, though. That's what makes the invasion talk so funny. Why not invade Philly? It's closer that Pittsburgh.

Dallsux Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Good luck with your "invasion." Ya know, it's funny, but I've been to PITtsburgh a couple times & I see less Steelers stuff there than anywhere. Actually, the last time I was there was 2009 & I actually had some work in the Mellon building, right over the Mellon Arena as they were still building it. What I thought was funny was how much Redskins stuff I did see inside PITtsburgh. Hats, bumper stickers...even a jersey worn by someone walking in broad daylight down the street. As high on your fellow fans as you may be, most Steelers fans are no better than Cowboys fans that jump on the bandwagon when the team is winning & will soon be on the move to the next team that grabs the medias attention. Had Green Bay made their way to another SB win, I truly believe a lot of what we see as Steelers fans today would be donning the green & gold, not black & gold. And PITtsburgh is a DUMP. It looks like a 3rd World country vomitted on the side of the mountain & BLAMO! PITtsburgh was born. So, while you criticize DC for how it is, you live there. You removed yourself from your precious PITtsburgh to find work. You think your fellow fans wouldn't sell their tickets to a sporting event to feed their families against a team they most likely believe they dominate? Meh, you may be right. But what if you're not. It would be hilarious to see the Katchup bottle being overrun with burgungy & gold jerseys, win or lose, & hearing "Hail to the Redskins" being sung throughout the stands.

jobaga Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I have a unique perspective: my wife is from Pittsburgh and is a Steeler's fan. I am a lifelong Skin's fan. The people in Pittsburgh support the Steelers. They are successful that means they have bandwagon fans, just like the Skin's used to have. I wouldn't be suprised if most of the Steeler fans in between the two cities used to be Skin's fans, then Raider fans, then Patriots fans... I would be shocked if there would be seats available at Heinz Field. It has been stated already, Pittsburgh does not have a big corporate community. That means no (or very limited) corporate tickets. That also means people who own Steeler's tickets want to go and support their team. On a side note; It is a shame that there are not many jobs for young people in Pittsburgh, because it is a nice, clean city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
