In the 1970s and '80s, tens of thousands of Pittsburgh natives moved away and migrated to cities from coast to coast. But they never forgot their allegiance to their favorite black and gold football team. On game days you'll find these avid fans at their local watering holes, in cities big and small, cheering on their "home team."
Who are these loyal die-hard fans... and where are they? Former Steelers punter Josh Miller and "everyday" fan Shawn Allen are about to find out. During the 2013 football season, they will travel all across America to pay game-day visits to 100 bars that have a strong Pittsburgh fan base.
The story of the Great Steelers Country Road Trip will be told in Miller and Allen's upcoming book, Always a Home Game TM. Filled with photographs and interviews, it will take sports fans far and wide into these game day celebration, and feature former players, their post-Steelers lives and where they are today.
With support from the Pittsburgh Steelers football team and the Steelers Charities, Miller and Allen will be filming, interviewing and handing out souvenirs during every game. Meanwhile, back at sold out Heinz Field, the Jumbotron will show live feeds of their visits with these passionate former Pittsburghers. Time to wave hello to old friends and family back home!
