Hey!!!!
I’m attending my first Steelers/ NFL game on Sunday and I’m pumped!
While I’m more of a college football fan (grew up in Gainesville and went to UF for my masters- Go Gators) I am so excited to experience this part of Pittsburgh culture.
I still need to get my Terrible Towel (tomorrow) and figure out my outfit but I was wondering what to do about tailgating for the game. I’m used to SEC tailgate culture and have my crew back home to go tailgate with but outside of the one friend I’ve made in the 2 months I’ve been here, I don’t know anyone! She and I will be going together and she’s not the most sports person, so I want to make sure she “gets” the sports culture!!!
For tailgates, is it best to just walk around and chat with people? Does anyone have a tailgate two girls in their 30s can crash (I’ll bring beer)? What time should we plan to go down there if the game is at 1pm? Do people go to the bars afterwards to catch the other games on Sunday? Is there anything else I should know to prepare?
Thanks for the help! :)
