Re: '33' in the End Zone ?
Well I looked it up. And 33 stands for arsenic on the elements chart. The old timer was obviously messin with me. It was the Bungles game last year, so I guess we were all pissed off.

Re: '33' in the End Zone ?
1933 is the year in which the steelers actually became the steelers they were the ptttsburgh pirates...for almost a decade..but the chief got tired of people confusing the football team with the baseball team...so he changed the name in 1933....

Re: '33' in the End Zone ?
I'm going to go with the Rolling Rock answer.
I think it's convenient marketing because the Steelers started in 1933. If it was just the year, it would only have one quote mark - '33 - but the double quotes plus it's in the same font as Rolling Rock makes me think it's an ad for the beer.

Re: '33' in the End Zone ?
Interesting...I dont understand how effective of an ad it could be though without saying Rolling Rock, maybe its a double meaning with subliminal advertising...?

Re: '33' in the End Zone ?
Rolling Rock's 33 is one of the main parts of their marketing. They've been using it for years. I think it's a natural connection btw RR and the Steelers.
33- the number on the bottle & the year the steelers started Latrobe, PA - where RR is brewed & where the steelers hold training camp
