Thank you all for weighing in on my latest dilemma...I swear it is ALWAYS something.
Sunday I had the pleasure of attending the Steelers game (we played the Colts) with my friend from work Kathy! I was such a great day for a game!!!! Chilly but no rain or snow in the forecast!!!
We met up with my sister for lunch near the stadium. She came with her husband, my nephew Matthew and his girlfriend. We decided to try out a new place for lunch called Southern Tier Brewery. We put or names on the wait list and they said 1/2 hour. We waited 45 minutes and then started getting a little angry. After another 15 minutes we were finally seated. The problem is that it is so close to the stadium that people eat and then sit and drink beer until the game start so it took forever. But...finally we were seated. They have a very limited menu on game day - about 20 items total including food, salads and appetizers. The food was just okay so I don't think we will go here again. Not worth that long wait and they really need to estimate the waiting time better even if it is a game day!
Here we are walking up to our seats...I love that huge Steeler logo banner!
And, of course, the selfie in the seats! Kathy is a great friend and I have so much fun with her!!!
Here is what we do at Heinz Field every game. Before the coin toss they spread out a huge terrible towel as they announce the players!!! It is so cool to watch and you can put your name in a raffle to be selected to be one of the people holding the towel on the field - I have never won :-(
This is the BEST part of the hone games in my eyes!!!! When the defense needs charged up, once a game, they play renegade!!! Everyone sings along and waves their terrible towels!! It is so fun and such high energy!!! LOVE IT!!!
So, in the end, we won!!! It came down to the last few minutes and everyone around us was saying it was over but I kept saying "anything can happen" and it did! Here is the last 6 minutes summary...
"Steelers settling for another field goal to make the score 26-24 with 6:36 left in regulation.
Both team exchanged punts before the Colts got the football back with 2:28 left in regulation trailing by two points and only one timeout remaining. On 3rd down Hoyer threw deep, and although it looked like the pass wasn’t catchable, defensive pass interference was the call giving Indianapolis the first down and great field position.
With a 43-yard field and 1:11 left in the game, the Colts missed the field goal to give the Steelers a 26-24 win.
The win moves the Steelers’ record to 4-4, and their third straight win."
All in all it was a great game!!! Thank you to Kathy for taking me along!!Don't you love a good game? Who do you cheer for?
That was one good game to be at! As for who I cheer for...you know I bleed black and gold. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Stacy!!!! It was amazing!! I knew we were not out of it!! GOOOO STEELERS!!! Have a fantastic week!
DeleteWell GA Tech played Pitt on Saturday and we got our comeuppance as usual. If Defeat builds character, then GA Tech should be overflowing.:) But it is always fun to go to a game.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the loss-I do not follow Pitt as my entire family went to Penn State but I have friends that are avid fans! It is great to have a team that is special to you!!! So I say- GO GA Tech!!! Have a great week Arlene!
DeleteI do enjoy a good game, but I haven't been to any in many years and I don't watch much of them on TV. I would root for the underdog!
ReplyDeleteWell that is a good trait to have Robin - I real life I always do!!! But as a Pittsburgher, born and raised, I can only root for them - win or lose...it is just lucky that we have been pretty decent lately! HA HA! Have a great day!
DeleteI'm a baseball fan, my team is the Mets. some sympathy, please, for my daughter the Jets fan..
ReplyDeleteLOL! Okay, sympathy granted! LOL! But you must feel the way I do when you go to a Mets game in person!! Amazing right?!?!? Have a great day!
DeleteGlad you had fun! Sounds like an exciting game! I'd like to go to a Bronco game, but have never been. Maybe this season?
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should Abby! I had ever gone until a few years ago when my friend from work invited me! It is so fun to be there in person - the stadium is electric!! You should get tickets!!!! HUGS
DeleteOur Eagles won too, so we were happy! That is a fun video you took! I love how you and your family are so close and do so many things together all the time. Nice to have your friend join you all!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win Terri! My brother in law has a soft spot for the Eagles...he grew up in Harrisburg and his father loved them! Thanks - I also love that my family is so close!!!! We have a blast together!! Have a great week and say hi to Joe!
DeleteI just cheer in Tennis - I'm a sports dud :) LOL
ReplyDeleteBut Steelers... just reminds me of This is Us :)
Right Rebecca Jo!?!?! I love that show and the fact that it is supposed to be in Pittsburgh and features the Steelers - even more amazing! Have a fantastic week!
DeleteI've never been a football fan. I used to try and watch the games with Wade but just couldn't get into it. He went to a few Pittsburgh games with a friend of his. He loved going to them.
ReplyDeleteIt really is so fun Ann! I did not get into it until college and now I am definitely a die hard fan!
DeleteSounds like you had a great time. I must admit that I don't know a lot about American Football. I don't understand all the stopping and starting lol. I'm sure it would be different if I grew up with it.
ReplyDeleteYes Sharon! It is still hard for me to understand parts! There was a penalty called this last game that I head never even heard of before!! LOL!!! I am getting better though by watching!
DeleteOh I love a good game alright, My team are the Seattle SeaHawks! I'm a mover and a shaker. I pace up and down talk to them like they can hear me and give all kinds of advice haha all in my living room. How fun to be in the actual stadium I bet the energy was amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!! Saimi, you sound just like my Mom! She gets crazy and screams at the team and the coach!! LOL!!! It really is awesome in person-especially if you are that involved at home - you would love the atmosphere!!!! Treat yourself to a game sometime - you will LOVE it!
DeleteI am a 49er Faithful but have a soft spot for the Steelers as I liked them as a kid during the 70's. Looks like you had a super great time.
ReplyDeleteWe really did Patrick! I think it is great that everyone has their own favorites!!! The rivalry is what makes it so exciting!!!! Have a great week!!
DeleteI love how some people love their teams. I don't understand it but it is fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely it fun to watch! We get really into our team - LOL! Hope you are well Linda! HUGS
DeleteThat sounds like a fun day! I HATE when we wait for a long time at a restaurant and the food doesn't live up to the expectations and wait time. Thanks for sharing with us at Encouraging Hearts and Home. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to come back and comment! I am totally in agreement regarding the expectations!!! Thanks for hosting! HUGS!
DeleteI've seen that stadium in person, it's a lovely area. I'm not into football at all but my husband watches college and professional all the time!
