Enjoy the game, your first game at Heinz will be a great memory, especially when Steelers come away with a victory over the Ratbirds.

Please make sure you are in your seats near the end of the 3rd, beginning of 4th when Renegade gets played, you'll be grinning from ear to ear. This has always been the time they have played it when I have been at games, stadium will be going crazy...

531, row O is where I sat for the 2008 AFC championship game. I didn't get my PSL's until 2009. There was an idiot Ravens fan about 6 rows in front of me, so he was probably just a few rows in front of you. They were getting their butt kicked and he decided to taunt the crowd when they finally got their 1st first down.

I think I remember that... when Troy picked Flacco at the end I think I screamed "Wacco 4 Flacco" at him for about two straight minutes. I live in Baltimore so I see those stupid a*s signs "Wacco4Flacco" all the time.

Sorry to hijack a little bit... I DON"T think you can bring in food, although the guys that check bags have never been very thorough.

NO. I don't believe you can.
I mean, with all the clothes, something small like a candy bar in your pocket is ok.
But if you want to bring in a picnic and set up a tailgate that's not going to fly.

Might be the wrong guy. Because he and I had a few words exchanged early in the game. When Troy made the pick I looked down for him and he was gone.

for those of you familiar with the stadium we are in section 509 row Q - are we going to be able to see the game and/or big tv from this section? should we bring oxygen/binoculars?

any recommendations on where to catch the first half of the first game and have lunch?

is there any mass transportation to ride into the stadium and park 30 minutes or so away?

thanks for any advice!

I come from Canada to at least 1 or 2 games a year. Depending on the hotel you stay at you can take a shuttle to the game, this eliminates the need to park and for those not from the Burgh, driving can be a little "exciting" LOL.
Have fun, the 500 level are always good seats and as has been said here, there is not a bad seat in the stadium.

Lucky guy...im STILL trying to get tickets at a decent price.

you'll love it, I havent sat in a bad seat yet. I don't think there is a bad seat at the stadium in my opinion.

Your's are 11 rows up from the concourse. Only about a 3rd of the way up. You should have a 25 yard line view depending on which seat #'s you have. Seat #1 is on the aisle closest to the 50. There are about 25 seats in the row. You will not be under the over hang if there is precipitation. The over hang is a few rows higher.

These seats are great for the view. You can see plays open up great. You can really see a receiver break open before the QB throws it to him. Good view of the scoreboard. The other sideline has a better view of the city, but who cares.

I always park at the 6th St. garage. $5 and it's just across the bridge from PNC park. 15-20 minute brisk walk and you're there. If you get thirsty, you walk right by lots of bars. I'd recommend going early and break up your walk with a stop for a drink.

I'll be 504, lets get together (if I'm not too wasted)!!!!
