Road Trip

[dozer996]

I won a football throwing competition and the prize was 4 tickets to a Pittsburgh Penguins vs Detroit Red Wings game tonight. Just finishing up the game, we lost...Penguins score 4 goals in the 3rd period to take the win.

Great city, the fans and general folks I ran into were fantastic.

Here are a few pics from the couple days.

Octopus tacos, the famous Primanti Bros, Ica skating in the market square, and my son caught a puck.

Looks like a ton of fun!

What great family fun and your son even catches a puck. Those memories will be with everyone forever.

Scored the puck, nice!

Good times but the rubber duckie is not having as much fun. 

Tacos look interesting.

Nice! I grew up in Pittsburgh, lived there for 40 years, and am a huge Penguin's fan. Sorry your team lost, though.

I miss a good Primanti's sandwich.

I was in the Fort Lauderdale area at the end of last week for business and never had a chance to go to the Primanti's there.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

My wife and I commented on how nice the Pittsburgh sports fans were. We saw 50% of the population wearing Steelers gear, makes me want to be a fan!!!! Very cool atmosphere.

For the most part, they are friendly and well behaved fans. Steeler games can get worse due to the hours of pre-game tailgating.

Owning Steeler gear is a requirement of residency. lol My wife always laughs at the number of Steeler shirts you will see at a Pirate or Penguin game. Only the Pirate/Penguin superfans have gear for those teams, but everyone has Steeler stuff.

Everywhere we go on trips, we see Steeler gear. We always take bets on how many things we will see in a day. In an airport, you can always tell which gate is going to Pittsburgh by counting Steeler logos.

Our 'best' Steeler logo sighting so far was in Las Vegas, there was a guy with an artificial leg that was Steeler themed.

That's pretty hard core!

Pimanti's is a must when in Pittsburgh!
