BS, BS, BS, I have done the extensive research on this..... on several occasions, so, if in fact the Steelers sold out all those games, and they were only getting 35,000 people in 3 Rivers, which indeed is all they were getting at times, then that means that on various occasion as much as 24,000 people decided not to bother to show up to games.
I don't know if the Browns game this year are sold out or not. I think they are.

But like I said...give the Steelers 2 bad years, and Heiny Field would be near empty. Give them 10 bad years, like we have had....and the Cleveland Browns would be the favorite team in Pittsburgh probably.

(And if we decided to turn on our team...the chant would be for the Bengals or the Ravens to beat the Steelers...or it would be "Go, Cavs, Go" or something else entirely"

Blaaa Blaaa Blaaa... Yet the National Football League experts and such rant and rave about Steeler Nation. Personally I dont fault you guys for not selling out...the Economy is Crap and You team is too WHY the hell should you flock to see them. Money and support Talks !! Stay away now and then ... It will motivate management all the more. And Sorry to tell you Thoses games WERE indeed sold out , Only a very few (maybe 4) had those really Low numbers... One day it was Bitter Cold and Icey. Tickets all gone and the Fans stayed home... and We have had two bad years in a Row TWICE since the 70`s ..and The Stadium was NOT Empty. Stop pointing a crooked finger our way.

You had about 10 games where the attendance was in the 30K or low 40K range, for a team that had just recently won multiple Super Bowl. Rain, ice, or not, that is Peetownpeethetic.

Yea, OK, I never said the stadium was empty. You have 35,000 in a 59,000 seat stadium, OK, that is not empty, per se.

And FYI, as far as I know, there is no game this year that is not sold out....I would like to see some evidence that says that a Browns game is going to be blacked out.

The fact is, it is the BROWNS fans that the NFL experts rant and rave about.....precisely because we have had no football or lousy football for about 18 or 19 of the last 20 years....and yet the strong support of the team is still there.

Imagine what the support for the Steelers would be if they had losing records for the next 18 or 20 years? Can you imagine that? They abandoned ship back in the 80s after only two mediocre years.

Sorry, but any team that has had the Steelers on field success will receive accolades for their fan support. Next to the Yankees, Celtics, and Lakers there is perhaps no bigger bandwagon following for a team in sports. The test of character is in the elongated periods of tough times.

Steeler nation is a joke. They don't even know half the guys on the roster. They know (3) Big Ben Hines Ward and cheap shot Troy.

Hey FREAK! Do you have something constructive to contribute to the BROWNS BOARD? The Squeelers may not be having trouble keeping their stadium filled right now (neither are the Browns), but by the amount of Pukesburg fans on our board, all the their forums must be pretty empty! This just adds to validates all the claims that the Squeeler fans are bandwagoners. Can you all not think of anything to talk about without having us Browns fans to rip on? If that's the case, I would hate to be in your shoes once Mankok and company get this thing turned around. When the Browns are no longer the laughing stock of the NFL (along with the Lions, Rams, Chiefs, Redskins, etc.) you will have nothing to do with your time but sit there and wonder why your life sucks so bad! You will have no one to kick while they are down. I can all but guarantee we won't see you here anymore. No way you'll want to be ripped apart by the same Browns fans you are antagonizing now!

Some of the responses to the article were quite funny.
"The only thing Cribbs should be running up into the stands for is to kiss the fans for continuing to come so he can get paid his salary while the team is a black hole of suck on the field."

I'd love to see that punk come up into the stands. He'd go back down to the field minus a couple of teeth!

Hey its better then chatting "Brady" Atleast the Packers are actually good....

Hey you have LOYAL fans no Doubt ... But DAMN Dude are you seriously telling me that People ain't Raving about Steeler Nation ALL THE TIME ???? Please No one esle pack in Visiting Stadiums like us. And we Support our Team WIN and the Few down yrs... Cant speak for the few games a Year in the Mid 80~s where we were watching games on the Tube and chucking our Tickets. And NO Even a comparison As to WHO the National Football Media talks about , i really hear very little about Brown Fans ( Though we know them to be VERY Loyal) It Steeler NATION. If you cant admit that , I just got to walk away laughing , and ask How IS the Kool~aid ???

This is actually very true, my moms side of the family are all Steeler fans and none of them could name a linemen for pittsburgh. Same with quite a few of my friends. Hell half the time they dont even no who there playing next. Maybe its not like that closer to Pittsburgh but were I live that deffinently rings true

Then they are not FANS... And the reason you guys dont have a chunk of that Type of fans , is WINNING brings those people out of the woodwork. Let the Browns have 3 good seasons in a row. you will be AMAZED , over the Retards that wear your teams Gear !!

So you're admitting there are amazing numbers of these bandwagon goobers wearing Steelers gear, eh?

Steelers vs. Browns Day and vice versa..

http://steelerstoday.com/?p=92

On Steelers vs Browns Day, citizens of Pittsburgh engage in random acts of kindness. Tailgaters share food with total strangers. Drivers on the Parkway yield and allow other drivers to merge in front of them (something that never happens outside of Steelers vs Browns Day). Children give their toys to those less fortunate than themselves. All debts are forgiven, and grudges are forgotten. Steelers vs Browns Day is truly “the most wonderful time of the year”.

In Cleveland, they also have an official holiday. It is called Browns vs Steelers Day. Browns vs Steelers Day is very different from Steelers vs Browns Day. Browns vs Steelers Day is a day of sorrow and mourning. Cleveland Browns fans rue Browns vs Steelers Day. Browns vs Steelers Day is kind of like 9/11, the anniversary of your marriage to your ex-wife (b*tch!), the day the space shuttle Challenger exploded, and the day Kennedy was assassinated, all rolled into one terrible, miserable day.

Amazing Numbers NO ..AMAZING that they Think they are "Fans" Yes... I would say 80% of Steeler Fans are Real Die Hard fans... the Other 20% ?? IDK... They many Have 49er and Patriot gear stashed in the closet somewhere....

So you're admitting that a significant portion of your so-called fans are pretenders. Interesting.

I look forward to hearing wonderful stories of these random acts of kindness. More likely what we'll hear is ::crickets chirping::

Well-behaved fans of opposing teams are usually welcome at the Browns Board tailgates as the Green Bay fans who enjoyed Ed/Don's grub last Sunday will attest. Can't say I've ever seen a Stillers fan with the willingness to chance it.

Nice extensive research.....whatever. Use proof....cite your research. Provide evidence. Not just your word that you saw something somewhere.

You can't get any more incorrect. The tickets are SOLD you moron. And if in a handful of games at the end of the season people did not go, which did happen a few times...that is not representing that we are getting 24,000 people not coming to every game. I used to live in the Cleveland area before moving, and at that same time, there were a lot of times the Browns did not sell out, and the Steelers were on Channel 3 as a result....and this was in the 1980s and early 90s too.

Maybe you should take that extensive research and realize that all your games are not sold out, hence the articles on the possibility of blackouts.

You guys are under this delusion that you are the best fans in all of sports. You're no different than the fans of any team in the midwest. Very passionate yes, but every team has bandwagon fans when things go well and drop off when things go poorly. I know a lot of Browns fans so disillusioned with with the team (this goes back several years as well) that they don't care.

As it stands, the Steelers are winning, and have been for the majority of the past 40 years -- of course people are going to be more apt to follow a winner. Your Cavs couldn't draw flies before LeBron showed up. The Indians sellout streak of the 90s has long since vanished. It's what happens in all sports. Get off your high and mighty "we are the best fans throne" and Steelers fans are just front runners. You are no different than anyone else.
