The Steelers would really struggle with a couple of non-playoff seasons in a row. The way they built the new stadiums really limited parking/tailgating. The only thing they have left is winning. If that's gone, there goes the fanbase.
Those people from Pissburg talk about their revamped city and teams as if they are mighty proud tho.
