From Peter King's CNNSI column.

Bonatucci, traveling for business in China, watched the game at a Steelers bar in Shanghai, at 5:30 in the morning Sunday. "There's a bar in Shanghai called The Camel where I'd say about 125 of us watched the game,'' Bonatucci said from China. That's right: There's a Steeler bar in Shanghai. "Chinese girls dressed as cheerleaders, Terrible Towels and all these expats or people traveling on business dressed in Steeler stuff. If you're a Steeler fan, you're not missing this game. When they came back in the second half, it was just like you'd get in the states -- people jumping up and down, high-fiving, going crazy. These people live for these moments.''

There was a pretty cool Steelers bar I went to in Charleston, SC when I was there. Forget the name of it but there were a bunch of people watching the game and it was fun.

I've been to Pittsburgh bars all of the country and even one in London. Makes being a fan that much better!

And Raw Dawg...contrary to your post....Pittsburgh is actually a very nice and thriving city. Have you ever been?

I was at a bar sunday in columbus and there were a bunch of steelers fans in there. I actually had a good conversation with some of them but there were a few that were complete retards. When the jets won this inbread looking fellow with about 4 teeth screams "welcome to the steal city baby" and jumped around with his buddys like he had just won the lottery. I know every fanbase has them but Pittsburgh seems to be the most annoying...... I know Cool story bro

Be careful, Rock_Knutne likes to cry and might report your post for calling a pitt fan an inbred (factually correct), a retard (also factually correct) and saying they only have 4 teeth (might be pushing it there).

I cleaned up this topic. If you want to troll, go start a thread in the basement.

And those who deserved it earned infractions. Keep the thread on topic.

Ah, yes. I believe similar "banter" directed toward teams from another area pro sports city were what led to the constant complaining about particular users that eventually led to the creation of the Basement.

They were excited because the Jets winning meant the game would be in Pittsburgh.

Alumni Club in Gahanna is the best. They do 50/50 raffles, trivia during halftime, drink specials during games. Pretty fun.

Was traveling around the south island of New Zealand this past week, and came back to Wellington yesterday. Taking the ferry back across the Cook Strait, i talked with two New Zealanders who were wearing Steelers gear and had been fans since the 70's, after going on a business trip to Pittsburgh. They were obviously very excited. Pretty cool, always nice being able to talk football. And, nice to see respect for American football in a country where rugby is king.
