Pittsburg Steelers Tickets - Football Of Champions

There is a distinct difference between Pittsburg Steelers tickets and tickets to an ordinary football game. The Steelers have long established themselves as a cut above the rest and football lovers and enthusiasts can be assured of a great game of football whenever they are on the field.

The Pittsburg Steelers are affiliated with the AFC North and the American Football Conference in the National Football League. They have often been referred to as one of the most successful teams in the NFL, winning five Super Bowls, six Conference championships and seventeen Division titles.

A Tradition Of Excellence

The Pittsburg Steelers founded in 1933, are one of the oldest teams in the NFL. During their initial years, the team merged with two other franchises in order to field a team. In 1944, the merged with the Chicago Cardinals and were known as the Card-Pitt, a team that has the infamous distinction of being the only team in franchise history to never have a winning game.

That would all change as time went on. In 1974, the Steelers had one of the best drafts on the NFL and Pittsburg Steelers tickets were a hot commodity. The team would become the first ever team in the NFL to win four Super Bowl titles in just six year. The luck of the team did dip however in the eighties, when the dream run of that dream draft finally ran out. However, the Steelers managed to pull themselves together enough to win the Super Bowl yet again in 2005. The Steelers currently have an overall record of 333-217.

Pop Culture And Beyond

The popularity of Pittsburg Steelers tickets is a simple reflection of the fact that the appeal of the Steelers extends far beyond the football field. The Steelers have appeared in a number of movies and television shows, with a 2002 independent movie showcasing the life of a Steelers fan. A number of Pittsburg Steelers tickets are picked up by high profile celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Adam Sandler, Michael Keaton and Seth Meyers.

The Steelers also have a number of memorable traditions. Perhaps the most striking is that of the Terrible Towel. This was a gimmick started by a broadcaster, who urged Steelers fans to wave gold dish towels during a game against the Baltimore Colts. The Steelers went on to win the game and the Terrible Towel craze caught on, with Steelers fans waving them at every game.

Today, what started as a gimmick has evolved into a charitable institution. Since 1996, the proceeds from the sales of these towels go to a school for the mentally disabled in Pittsburgh. The Steelers were also the first professional team to have a cheerleading squad, which they began in 1961. Today however, the team does not have a cheerleading squad as the current management feels they are pointless and can block the view of the actual game.
