Classy..TY Dr. Detroit.Having limited contact with Steelers fans outside of this board, going to the Super Bowl was a good experience for me to see what they were actually like.
Being from Detroit and a Seahawks fan lends to hanging around a lot of Lions fans which I did at the Super Bowl but I mixed it up with Steeler faithful. On Friday and Saturday and had lengthy discussions on a expert level with some really great fans who had a football perspective holding the hometown fervor.
The younger fans (under 25) were much tougher to deal with but I guess most fan bases are similar. At the game I sat next to two Seahawk family members and was surrounded by three rows of Steelers fans. All but one were great and the guy next to me even saved my intense headache with some aspirin in the third quarter so I could make it till the end. The one idiot was wearing a Farrior jersey so I called him "InFarrior" to the delight of the Steelers fans around me who were also annoyed by him. He was drunk at game time and it took him 15 minutes to figure out how old he was when the Steelers won their last title. I offered him an abacus to do the math and the result was he was -3.
As far as treating my city good the Steelers fans did just that. They enjoyed themselves a great deal and they unloaded their wallets into area establishments that need all the help they can get. Detroit is a great city with a ton of history; a city that help build the U.S. to what it is today. It's had some hard times but the Super Bowl was a shining moment in what I hope is a recovery to some semblance of what it once was. Steelers fans certainly waved their towels and their money at the city and Detroit certainly benefited from a Steelers win (just the after game beer sales must have equaled what those business get in a year).
All in all I was pretty impressed and even envious of the fervent following of the Steelers. Oh, and we had two Steelers female freaks staying next to us in our hotel and they were willing to take off their Steelers apparel and let their hair down with the enemy (well my friend was a Lions fan).Good times.
Congratulations to the true blue Steelers fans (you know who you are) on your fifth Super Bowl Championship and to my boy Larry Foote on his first.
