| - Granted, my review might be a little biased as I'm a huge Steelers fan, but this is an awesome stadium.
My boyfriend and I flew up to Pittsburgh for the Ravens playoff game (sad). We did everything so last minute, we thought for sure we'd have terrible seats. We didn't care.
Uhhhhh we had AMAZING seats. 5 rows back (thanks Ticket Exchange), home side (obviously). Even if we'd had higher seats, this would've been amazing.
I've been to Jerryworld, home of the Cowboys, in Dallas. That is the only other professional football stadium I've been to, but Heinz Field seriously kicks Jerryworld's ASS. The seats are better (seriously more comfortable and they feel more sturdy than some other sports stadium seats), the fans are better, the team is better (ha ha), the food is better, and there are many many more bathrooms. Man, those french fries were some of the best I've had.
It seemed like this stadium was much much easier to get in and out of than Jerryworld (and other pro sports stadiums).
It's amazing, as an out-of-state Steelers fan, to walk up to Heinz Stadium and think, "I'M REALLY HERE!!!" It's all you could imagine it to be and more.
It'd be really fun to do a tour of the stadium (if they offer that kind of thing), were I to go back on a not super-quick whirlwind trip.
Oh, and another big PRO for Heinz field? They're not trying to show off. There's not a massive fucking television above the field like at Jerryworld. No matter how much you want to watch the actual game at that stadium, you find yourself drawn to the giant tv. It's hard to avoid. Shit, it's so huge, punts occasionally hit it! At Heinz stadium, they have screens so you can see replays and whatnot, but they add to the game. They do NOT detract from it!
I can't wait to come back here and plop my butt down in one of those fabulous yellow seats.
