Since I'm a Steelers fan, would buying this make me a bandwagon owner?

It's definitely more novelty than anything else. But you do get to vote on the board, and do get invited to the stockholder's meeting every year, so it's not all bad. Got to go with my brother a few years ago (he's a stockholder from the 1997-98 sale) and did get to ask questions of Ted Thompson

Since you're a bandwagon fan, it's not like it would bother you to be a bandwagon owner too.

I didn't read through the whole thing.

But from what I see the main things are... You purchase 1 vote per stock. You can't resell the stock. You can't even transfer it. You essentially are just paying/donating to the team for a vote. Looks like a wonderful deal if you're a huge fan and care enough. But other than that it sucks.

But I was being sarcastic, too!

Damn this intraweb thing... The sarcasm webs stuck together to create a big blob of shit in the end.

But in the end, I win, because I support 2 teams from the state in which I reside in!

Hell, why not...Randy Lerner's been passing himself off as an "owner" for years. If he can do it, ANYONE can.
