1 more thing. You probably want to walk around downtown the night before the game and see the Christmas tree and all the ginger bread houses. The gf will def like that

jrompola - you're makin me want to revisit again soon - the holidays can't come fast enough now

You got that right. I'm pumped for my visit to the Burgh. Used to go a few times per year bc I had friends out there, but they've moved back. Last time I was there was a few years ago when Matt Spaeth dropped 2 straight passes to lose to the Jets only to turn around and destroy them in the playoffs

I'd like to actually see a win this time I go. It was sure depressing leaving the game last time with 60K ppl silent.

I wasn't at the Jets game - but I knew immediately after that one that there was no way they were the better team - and we'd beat them the next time - I was never more sure of a Steelers victory than that game. (And we all know what they like to do against "bottom feeders."

The most depressing game for me was the same season, the first game at home v. Ravens where they beat us on the that pass to Housh. I really thought we were going to go 4-0 without Ben - soooo close.

Ughhh the best I can find is 3 Star Hotel in Pittsburgh North Area via Hotwire for $70 a night. The hotel will be located close to Ross Park Mall, a bit south. Around 4-6 miles away from city center. Not bad. It works out great for Fri night after I'm done all the shopping cause the hotel is closeby but Sat morning I'm going to have to drive in. Sunday morning I'm going to have to drive in to see the NFL game unless I can find parking somewhere else.

Hmmm, changed things up and got some pretty nice hotels for just a couple dollars more.

Fri night
Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown 3.5* for $76 USD total

Sat night
Courtyard By Marriott Pittsburgh Shadyside 3* for $111 USD total



Hotwire for the poorly reviewed Holiday Inn 3* was $170USD total for both nights so what's $20 more right???
