Had first right of refusal on 1 of 4 season tix owned by a friend lower level end zone (sec 112 IIRC) opposite tunnels at TRS for 9 years until Heinz Field was built. Saw 60-70 games then including all playoffs and AFCCG vs Colts

Went to a handful of games in the 80's as a kid. My dad took me to several during strike year as well. Now, I usually just pick one a year

My favorite was 2004 vs NE. Snapping 21 game win streak

many games in the collection - fortunate that family has had season tix for 50+ years

most memorable game as a kid -- 1976 afc championship - ice bowl vs. the Raiders

the recent AFCCG agst the Ravens was pretty special too (TP's huge interception for TD)

Every home game except 1 or 2 since 2007 including playoffs.

Before that, I'd get to about 2-3 a year sprinkled in with a few away games.

'05 Bears snow storm game at Heinz (JB's last 100 yarder and the infamous Urlacker washing)
'10 Pats Sunday nighter at Heinz (Brady picked s apart - I think Gronk had 3 that night)
'10 Bills in Buffalo (Stevie Johnson's drop in the end zone)
'11 Ravens Sunday nighter at Heinz (Flaccos game winner to Torrey Smith with no time remaining)

And, I have travelled to Pittsburgh to watch 2 Super Bowls. The first one in '05 at the Sports Rock on the Strip and the last one against the Pack at Bettis's.

Superbowl 43!!! section 123A- i was in the corner of the end zone where harrison ran back the TD

AFCCG against the Jets- I am from NY, so this was extra special

AFCCG againts the colts- cowher finally gets to the big one. I was there the year prior against SD, so this was pretty cool

my first ever game in pittsburgh. December of 94. we beat the cleveland browns 17-7 to lock up the AFC central crown.

2008 game against the cowboys. Freezing cold. beer was freezing in cup. Deshea and heath score two late TD's to bring down the house...........

eli vs. ben rookie year at giant stadium...... a shoot out and ben prevails. The bus chews up the clock in the 4th qtr. to cement the win......

Been to a lot of games, but there are some special ones that stick out:

2003 vs. STL, 1000th Steeler game. All the greats were there for a half time show. Steelers lost, but it was a great experience being at that game. We had 4th row seats right behind the Steelers bench.

2005 vs. Chicago. Awesome experience, probably my favorite game I've ever been to. Had end zone seats and got a great look at Bettis bowling over Urlacher on his way into the end zone. I now have a framed picture of it signed by The Bus. Snow was so bad at one point we couldn't see the whole field. We didn't know at the time that game would start the run to XL, but now that I have that knowledge it makes that memory even more special.

2005 vs. Detroit. Nothing really remarkable about the game itself, just that it was Bettis' last game, everyone knew it, and the cheers for him were deafening. Whole lot of "One more year!" chants.

2007 vs. Baltimore. This was an awesome game. Best view of the field I've ever had, and we beat the shit out of the Ravens. Bonus was that the game was two days after my birthday and was essentially a birthday present from my wife. I loved every minute of it. First Monday night game I ever went to as well. James Harrison was a monster that night, I don't know how McNair left the game with a pulse. Also, 75th Anniversary game, got to see a lot of the old greats at half time.

2008 vs. Washington. Game was on my birthday, Monday night game which is always fun, and at the end of the game seeing the whole place get taken over by Steelers fans was amazing. It *almost* felt like being in Pittsburgh. My best friend is a Skins fan and we had a bumper sticker bet on the game. While tailgating in the parking lot, we made a side bet that Campbell would throw his first interception that season against us. Loser had to sing the winner's fight song the whole way out to the parking lot. I won both bets. :)

2008 vs. SD. First and only playoff game, great experience, we had a whole crew from RVA drive up for this and we all got seats together. We had a big tailgate out in the parking lot and watched the Steelers bury SD on the way to winning another Super Bowl.

Was thinking more along the lines of a video collection(vhs/dvd) but pretty cool to see what games you guys have actually been to.

9/3/79 - Steelers @ Patriots (W 16-13 OT at Foxboro. Dodging beer cups on the way out)
11/28/82 - Steelers @ Seahawks (L 16-0 Bradshaw hurt early on. Stoudt comes in. Forget about it.)
9/4/94 - Cowboys @ Steelers (L 26-9 the first game Switzer owned Cowher - you're welcome SYP)
10/7/01 - Bengals @ Steelers (W 16-7 first regular season game at Heinz)
10/3/10 - Ravens @ Steelers (L 17-14 Flacco to Housh with seconds left on the clock. Fuck.)

Steelers are 2-3 in games I've been to.
