Heinz Stadium

We have loved Rad Days so far. They have given us the opportunity and incentive to go out an explore Pittsburgh. Today was great because we got to go check out the Steelers stadium. It is also where Pitt plays. I wasn't quite sure what the free tour would be like or if we would get to see anything really cool... well it was pretty good. At first we just went up to the top of the stadium stopping at some club seats, but it seemed like they were under construction. The view from the top of the Stadium is great.
On the way down is when it got really cool. The view of the point from on the the west ramp is beautiful.
We got to go into the press box and learn a little about what goes on in there. We also got to walk down one of the halls that has all of the suites. It did not feel like we were in a Stadium anymore, it felt like we were at a luxury hotel or something. Then we headed down to the locker rooms. We all touched the "Men of Steel"emblem before we went through the Steelers tunnel out onto the field.
It was pretty awesome to come out of the tunnel and see the whole stadium all of the sudden all around us. It must be a rush to run out when they are filled with a cheering crowd waving their terrible towels.
Then we went back into the locker room and got to see both the Steelers locker room and the visiting teams locker room. They come in a day before game day and bring all the equipment and everything so they were pretty empty but it was awesome and cool to think about what it would be like on a game day.
Finally we went down the tunnel that the visiting team has to run through to get out onto the field and saw some behind the scenes stuff. We also walked past this wall where they display all the different Terrible Towels they have. It was such a fun tour and I am glad we could take advantage or it.
We came home around noon Daniel told me he was exhausted and said maybe we should not do so many fun things. Haha we ought to do fun things while they are free, right? We will slow down once they are expensive again...
