Goodell has a problem with Steeler fans

[SteelerSask2]

Thousands of tickets sold through third party sources like Stub hub. Team wasn't performing well. Who is going to pay that inflated price.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

we all know the issues.. Team record, Prices, ******* parking at $35,, and no lots near the stadium except for prepaid.. (had to walk a mile to get in) Lack of pissers ,, lines out the door , $35 for a bucket of wings at quaker steak,, $8 beers , and I **** you not I had to get up at least 20 times to let people out of the row I was in. That's just the stadium issues..... Not to mention the product put on the field.

Always a ton of no shows when the team isn't contending, especially if the weather is bad. Plus, prime-time games suck. They start too late, have too many commercials and end too late. I spend about eight hours out of the house for a Steelers home game and for night games, that means getting home at 1:00 or 1:30 am. I still go, but I completely understand why people stay home and get to bed at a much better hour and don't have to deal with all of the drunks.

As a former cop I can tell you that drunks generally become respectful after experiencing pain, until that point they are most likely not going to be. That has been my experience from many years ago 80s and 90s.

As a former "lounge entertainer" in the 70's and 80's I have seen first hand the respect cops earn from drunks especially in bar fights. There used to be a place on Federal St on the N.Side called the Apache Lounge. On one particular night maybe '71 or '72 two biker gangs decided to square off on the dance floor while we were pumping out "Whole Lotta Love". In walks ONE PPD cop, he pushed his way into the middle of the brawl pulls out his stick and a blackjack and started busting heads. About 5 minutes later about 10 more cops come in and follow suit while dragging bloody bodies out into the street and tossing them into the paddy wagon. It was like a scene in a movie! Every one of those cops at that time wore leather jackets and looked like they could be on Studio Wrestling! But as we were told later; "This is the North Side, things like this happen every weekend"!

Tailgating is better than being inside the game. If there was a way to tailgate for $35 dollars and I could get the game in the parking lot on an HDTV, I would be there ******* every week.

The ONLY reason to go to a game is the tailgating. The more the NFL has ****** that up, the less people go. Everything inside the stadium is a hassle, overpriced and a ripoff.

I went to Giants Stadium last year and that was ******* embarrassing. The stadium was ******. Tons of plain concrete and beams. Sat by itself in the middle of a 50 acre asphalt parking lot. Can't see crap except with binoculars (even on the lower level). Terrible atmosphere since the Giants got blown out.

But I loved tailgating with everyone. I loved setting up the grill and cooking and drinking my .75 cent Yuenglings. Home made chilli. Brats. Chips and salsa. Joking it up with everyone else in the parking lot. That was what made it worth it.

I still have my leather jacket but it is too small now. For a little bit of trivia cop related what do you think the TV show Hill Street Blues was based on? The Hill district in Pittsburgh and that's a fact.

God-del should concentrate in bringing back the game that is no longer presented by the field of every team.

 

[Steelr4evr]

I put the hollywod pea brained puss nutted ******** on ignore.

 

[slashsteel]

issues are simpler than some think

it is simple

stay competitive

fans will show up

have two mediocre seasons and follow that up with two blow out losses to division foes toppled that with the Bucs only win of the season

fans will stay home

more performances like the Colts matchup will bring fans back to the stadium despite other barriers...................

stay competitive

all most fans want

 

[Southern Steeler]

Maybe if Goodell and the Rooney's didn't ruin the product they put on the field there wouldn't be as many no-shows. Give me some hard hitting, non-flag flying football and I will show you a stadium to full capacity.

This.

The long term ramifications from this will be felt for years.

This! I used to get up at 6 AM to tailgate at TRS, now when I go to a game I leave my house at 11:30.

stir...stir...I have yet to see a post from you that added anything to a thread..but the stupid little one liners u continue to spit out..you continue to dis honor a great Steeler by using his nickname as your handle here..post something worth reading or move along ..the shtick is wearing thin

Don't you mods have the power to rename him to something more appropriate? Barf Bag immediately springs to mind.

Hill street blues, was my favorite show at the time. Didn't miss an episode, loved the PITTSBURGH innuendos / scenery.




Salute the nation

I know a good amount of season ticket holders, but I don't know any who got theirs in my lifetime, and I aint young. They don't go to night games, games that are wet and cold, blah blah blah... most don't even sell their tix, just sit on them... its a spoiled, old fanbase at the stadium and the new rules certainly don't encourage a younger crowd

"Douche" was the first to spring to my mind.
