Find a Steelers bar near you!

Description

I spent most of my childhood overseas, the son of two DOD employees stationed in faraway countries that thought soccer was the real "football." I've never lived in Pittsburgh, or even within 200 miles of it, but my dad was a fan. I've been a fan since birth. My sister was actually born during kickoff of Super Bowl XIII, January 21, 1979. My mother, a Green Bay Packers fan, dutifully supported the guys in the family as we rooted for the Steelers.

This is a true story. Mom gives birth to my little sister (my only sibling) during kickoff. The nurse takes the baby away to be cleaned up, etc., and when she returns, my mom blurts out, "What's the score of the game?"

The nurse, temporarily stunned, says, "But don't you want to see your daught -- "

And my mom interrupts and screams, "NEVERMIND THAT! WHAT'S THE SCORE OF THE GAME!?"

(The telling of this story undoubtedly scars my little sister to this day. Eh... she's a Ravens fan. She's used to disappointment and humiliation.)

Anyway, my point is that sometimes it's hard to be a Steelers fan when you don't live near Pittsburgh. However, we have bars all over the country -- literally, all over the country -- where you can meet up with a few hundred rabid fellow "Stillers" fans and throw back a bucket of Iron City beer, munch on pierogies, and taunt Brownies fans.

This website is your key to finding a good Steelers bar no matter where you live, travel, or wake up after a College Football Saturday drinkfest. All fifty states plus D.C. are represented, as well as Canada, Mexico, England, Brazil, The Netherlands, Thailand, Switzerland, Germany... hell, I'll just stop typing now. Literally 50 countries. Awesome stuff.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Season Tickets

First to recommend

Description

No, you can't just waltz over to their website and buy season tickets. The waiting list is roughly 20 years long... but you can go over to the site, get the address listed, and put your name on the list. Hell, who knows? In 20 years, you might actually even be able to afford them.

This is a great free gift idea, too: For your young child's birthday, sign 'em up on the waiting list, and put some money into an account every so often just for the tickets. When they're 25 years old and finally get season tickets, you can make 'em drag mom & dad to the game!

Pittsburgh Steelers Pool Table

First to recommend

Description

Oh my. For the hardcore fan who also enjoys some pool, here it is. Don't worry - shipping and professional installation are included. Now, if only we could get a white Steelers cue ball with a bunch of Browns-logoed balls to smack around.....

Hah. I'm sure they make them somewhere. I'm just not sure I want the Browns logo anywhere near my house, much less inside of it.

40" Glass Pool Table Light

First to recommend

Description

(Just to get this out of the way early, this is available for any NFL, MLB, or NBA team.)

You have a pool table. You're a football fan. What better way to combine the two than by getting your pool table lighting in your favorite team's NFL colors and logo?

Three light bulbs will give you a clear look at every possible scratch, mishit, and illegal jump you can make.

Kolder Pittsburgh Steelers Bottle Jersey (2 pack)

First to recommend

Description

No one likes a warm beer. You don't even know what one tastes like, since you don't nurse yours like a Browns fan. But in case you're busy grilling, tossing the football around with your 5-year-old linebacker-to-be, or doing something else a real Steelers fan does at a tailgate, these handy little puppies will keep your beer nice and cold while you're doing your thing.

North Pole Pittsburgh Steelers 10x10 Adjustable Canopy Side Wall

First to recommend

Description

If you've already bought the canopy, and you're worried about the wind whipping across the river and dumping rain sideways onto your grill, grab a side wall, too.

North Pole Pittsburgh Steelers 10x10 Tailgate Canopy

First to recommend

Description

If it's sunny, you don't need cover. If it's snowing, you don't need cover. But if it's raining? Yeah, you're going to want your grill protected from the elements. You, being a badass Steelers fan, will be walking around shirtless, drinking beer, and waving your Terrible Towel -- but your grill? Probably best to keep it dry.
