Steelers Organization celebrate 82nd year

On this day in 1933, the Pittsburgh Pirates were formed by Art Rooney and today are tied as the 7th oldest club in the NFL behind the Chicago Bears, the Cardinals (both St. Louis & Arizona), the Detroit Lions (also the Portsmouth Spartans), the Green Bay Packers, New York Giants and the (Boston) Washington Redskins.

The organization would spend decades as an irrelevant organization and it was not until the 1970’s that the club came into prominence behind Chuck Knoll and Quarterback Terry Bradshaw, now a Fox NFL analyst, winning their first Superbowl in 1974.

The Steelers will open the preseason with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio against the Minnesota Vikings.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today before they are all gone! 

Steelers attempt to regroup against Panthers

After a humiliating 20 point loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers will attempt to add a second victory in the win column this weekend against the undefeated Carolina Panthers who are coming off a win against the Detroit Lions.

The Steelers hope to fix their defensive ailments with stopping the run a priority.  They could take a lesson from the Panthers who lead the NFL with six takeaways while giving up none.

Be sure to get your tickets and support your Pittsburgh Steelers. There are plenty of great seats and cheap tickets still available!

Steelers host NFC North leading Lions

It has been a rough beginning t o the 2013-14 NFL season for the Pittsburgh Steelers but even so, and even sitting with a 3-6 record, hope abounds in the Steelers locker room that the playoffs are not yet out of reach.  Most team members agree.

“Do I think we can?” Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor said. “Yeah. We’ve just got to stop being consistent at being inconsistent.”

Head Coach Mike Tomlin thinks that his team has put in the effort.

“I expect the attitude to be what it is,” Tomlin said. “It’s not like I’m throwing a pep rally because the attitude is appropriate. We’ve got a lot of challenges in front of us. This is something we sign up for and are called to do. I like the energy, but what we need is results.”

Great seats and tickets are still available for this Sunday’s match up.
