not on the same level though...don't get me wrong there are plenty fans of all teams from the atlantic coast here...but its not even remotely close to the Steelers. Even in south FL where you would think its Jets/Giants/Pats the Steelers fans are just as plentiful.

b/c people from the NE move down there. Not just the steelers have a huge base, like you said jets/gmen/pats throw the eagles skins and browns in there too. Just more steelers fans b/c people jump on the wagon pre big ben it was nothing like this and i was living in steeler country back then.

I wasn't in Charlotte though. It was in all sports bars in the triangle area. Steelers own that damn state too.

They really are the fricking plague.

but that's what I mean. Aren't they NOW "America's team"

They've had 2 seperate generations of dominance (about 25-30 years apart with a SB visit against GB a little more than halfway through). That's getting multiple generations of bandwagoners and reinforcing the kids of the first generation's fandom.
