From Monterrey, Mexico to the Steel City to catch a game!422 viewsThe Regios De Acero Steelers Fan Club traveled by bus from Mexico to Pittsburgh to see their beloved Steelers LIVE!
Regular readers are familiar with this hardy crew of Steelers fans who wear their love for their favorite team (and their favorite player) on their backs as part of their everyday attire!
Sure, they watch their Steelers at home in Mexico, and they’ve traveled to Kansas, Arizona, and to Dallas for Super Bowl XLV to see them play (they didn’t have tickets, but they did tailgate and watch the game on TV), but their dream was to see a Steelers game in THEIR home!
They finally made their own dream come true on December 15th!
From Roger Saucedo on their unforgettable trip:
The trip to Pittsburgh started on Thursday, December 12th at 7:00 am. A group of around 25 Steelers fans leave Monterrey to Pittsburgh. We pass the border by McAllen,Texas. The plan was go non-stop to Pittsburgh, just stop to buy food and gas for the bus.
We finally arrived in Pittsburgh on Friday, December 13th by 11:00pm which means we completed the trip from Monterrey to the Steel City in around 40 hours. Obviously all were tired but happy because we will be at the game at Heinz Field…and we arrived while it was snowing....

Ben with a two-day old calf, which he named Benita1103 viewsAccording to ESPN writer David Fleming, who accompanied Ben on his trip:
"[Ben] was also asked to name a brown and white female calf that had been born on the farm two days earlier. Ben ignored my suggestion of 'Cow-her' and went with 'Benita', showing just slightly more innovation that the Steelers' 2006 offensive playbook".

Gabriel Seiler1633 views"Mr. Roethlisberger, will you sign my baby?"
Ben signs 2-month old Gabriel's onesy at training camp last summer, 2010.
From Gabriel's dad:
Hello, my name is Bob Seiler. I'm from Hollidaysburg, Pa and we are huge Steelers fans. We attended training camp this year and had an awesome photo op with Ben. I'm sure this pic will stay with my son forever and it means soo much to me. We've framed the onzie along with this pic and is on our wall at home. I asked Ben if he ever signed a baby in onzie? He said, "there's a first for everything."
*Thank you to Mr. Seiler!

October 23, 2011 - Steelers vs. Cardinals718 viewsBig Ben throws longest pass in Steelers history in win
From CBS Sports post-game:
In the long history of the Pittsburgh Steelers, there has never been a pass like it, and the play set the tone for a big day.
The big play from Roethlisberger to Wallace, cheered on by a crowd that included a generous and boisterous bunch of Steelers fans, came in the second quarter after an Arizona drive stalled at the Steelers 39 and Dave Zastudil’s 30-yard punt pinned Pittsburgh on its 9-yard line. A false start pushed it back to the Steelers 5.
On the next play, Roethlisberger dropped back into the Pittsburgh end zone and lofted a pass down the sideline toward Wallace, who had beaten cornerback Richard Marshall.
Wallace caught the ball in stride, breaking free of a pair of would-be tacklers along the way, and raced to the end zone for the score that made it 14-0 with 8:09 left in the half.
