I always heard that the Steelers traveled well, but that turnout still surprised me.
It isn't travel. They have a national fan base for a number of reasons. There's a large diaspora and they were one of the dominant teams in the 1970s when football enjoyed some of its biggest growth in popularity.
They've also cultivated a large fan base in Louisiana from fans who follow local products more than a specific team. Terry Bradshaw, Louis Lipps, Kordell Stewart, Alan Faneca, Ryan Clark, Ike Taylor, Mewelde Moore, Keenan Lewis, Mike Wallace.
When the Steelers take over an opponent's stadium, the overwhelming majority of the fans didn't have to rent a hotel room.
