It's a major understatement to say that Steeler fans are waaaaaaaay into their team. When I grew up in Pittsburgh, afternoon classes would be cancelled on the Fridays before game days so that we could all stand on the athletic field in the freezing cold and cheer for the Steelers. Our science teacher would get up and lead the cheers. Keep in mind, the games were not ongoing and there were no Steelers present. We missed class anyway. Plus, every Friday during the season is Steeler day and my folks would have to get dressed up on Fridays in their Steeler jerseys. My dad wore his under his SUIT for business meetings. Really, though, every day is Steeler jersey day. The entire city-- year-round-- wears black and gold. I'd say before last year's Superbowl, every 3rd person in Pittsburgh who you'd see on the street had some sort of Steelers logo on. Now, it's down to about 1 in every 2 people.
I didn't realize until I left Pittsburgh that many other people would find these things abnormal.
Go Steelers!!!!!!!!!!
