2nd quarter, Seattle up 3-zip. Gotta root for the Steelers. Been to Pittsburgh, ain't to Seattle.
Me & Chontos did a drive 3 or 4 years ago to the Steel city, many thanks to TTown, who provided game tics to the Pirates and the Texas Rangers at PNC Park, or, as Chontos & I like to chortle, "Pink Park!!"
But seriously, gorgeous stadium, very user-friendly. Rate it a notch above Camden Yahds, though my heart will always belong to Fenway.
Pittsburgh's a kinda gray, dreary looking town, but the convergence of three rivers -- the Ohio, the Allegheny, and, uhm... jeez, I'd have to Google it -- gives it at least a little charm. And we had a good time, ending up in a Chinese restaurant on karaouke night after the game. Oh, and lest I forget: Before the game, we checked out the Andy Warhol Museum (complete with its 15 minutes of fame) and the dreariest bar in the universe, resembling a rural VFW stoop, dispensing the dreariest brau in the universe: "Iron City Beer"... urp!
Fun time. Love the ballpark. Like the city. Makes me miss Boston all the more.

Update: Roethlesberger in for the score. Steelers up 7-3.
