Back to the Pittsburgh Steelers Newsfeed

The day I got swept up in a Steelers’ preseason football game right in the middle of hockeytahn.

Since we’re in the middle of Thanksgiving weekend, I'd like to take you back to a time in August, mere months after the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League won their second-straight Stanley Cup.

Since the Penguins had indeed clinched their second-straight title, many began to wonder if Pittsburgh was transforming from a football city to a hockey town (or tahn, as they say around here—at least on t-shirts).

As a bona fide, diehard football/Steelers fan, I woke up on the morning of August 20, 2017, seriously wondering if football had permanently taken a backseat to hockey in the City of Pittsburgh.
