When it comes to football fandom, the Pittsburgh Steelers have something special. Just ask Steeler Nation, they’ll tell you.
I’m only ribbing, of course, but there is a long-documented history of the Steelers and the fact that they almost routinely have a very active fan presence in most road stadiums. While the argument of their fan-base being ‘well-traveled’ is a bit inaccurate, the broader truth is that the team has a wide diaspora of fans around the country and the globe, both because of their success, history, and culture, and also because of driving economic factors that saw many ‘Burghers relocate to other cities as Pittsburgh redefined itself as more of a white-collar than blue-collar industry, at least by trade, if not by personality.
