The Pittsburgh Steelers hold the #1 away-game attendance record in the
NFL, with a diehard fan base from coast to coast. TV announcers
sometimes jokingly ask if this is a home game for the black-and-gold
because there are so many fans in the stands. Pittsburgh natives are
spread out across the country. On game days, you'll find these avid fans
at their local watering holes, in cities big and small, cheering on
their "home team." For example, Harold's Corral, outside of Phoenix,
actually sells season tickets for a seat at the bar or a table during
Steelers games. There were 5000 people at Harold's for the 2010 Super
Bowl between Pittsburgh and Green Bay. There are 766 dedicated Steelers
bars across America.
During the 2013 football season, former Steelers punter Josh Miller and
"everyday" fan Shawn Allen will visit Steelers bars in the 32 NFL
cities, documenting the unique personalities that define one of the
largest and most passionate fan bases in the world - "Steelers Nation."
Meanwhile, back in Pittsburgh, 65,000-plus fans at sold-out Heinz Field,
will see live feeds of their visits on the scoreboard. Filled with
photographs and interviews, Always a Home Game features game-day
celebrations, a look at former players and their post-Steelers lives,
and the shared journeys of fans from across Steelers Nation
