Can't wait to see everyone sweating in their jackets. That had to be miserable, but it's still pretty cool if you got in the movie

Yeah, it was pretty hot. But well worth it.

Re: 12 Steelers In New Batman Movie

I was there with my daughter and some friends, down low row d section 109. Could see Ben, Troy, Cowher, etc. during the multiple anthem takes. They were shooting close ups of them on sideline during the singing. All but Hines and Coach Cowher were gone after the early rain. They were needed for close ups during Hines' kick return to start the game which they filmed later.

We stayed through the rain, the heat, the delays, the explosions(cool), Hines riding on camo tumblers(very cool), the singing contest(not cool)and wearing winter coats/hats in the sun but had to leave during the raffle at the end. That Dante(MC) dude and his girlfriend's annoying voice were driving us crazy!

Re: 12 Steelers In New Batman Movie

I was home this weekend and took a few photo's of the stadium from Mt. Washington...

I was in a polo and jeans and I ended up going to the strip district for a Tshirt because I was drenched in sweat.

Bat-signal on Downtown

By Mandy Hofmockel, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Wednesday, August 10, 2011



Starting today, filming of "The Dark Knight Rises" moves Downtown, and commuters say they're ready.

Sections of about a dozen streets will be closed off-and-on to vehicle traffic through Aug. 21. Some areas will be restricted for pedestrians.

"We're Pittsburghers; we've dealt with worse," said Scott Hanson, who works in sales for IKON Office Solutions at the K&L Gates Center on Sixth Avenue.

Oliver Avenue from Wood Street to Grant Street and Smithfield Street from Fifth Avenue to Sixth Avenue were scheduled to be closed until 5 a.m. today, according to the Pittsburgh Film Office.

Some who work in or commute through Downtown said potential traffic tie-ups may cause them to leave home a little early, but overall, the street closures wouldn't greatly affect them.

Bonnie Bridge, a senior payroll administrator for the Education Management Corp., also at the K&L Gates Center, said the woman she usually carpools to work with will park at a garage on Penn Avenue to avoid traffic instead of parking in the underground garage on Wood Street.

"I anticipate the traffic to be a little heavier," she said.

The Oliver Avenue garage, beneath The Capital Grille, will be closed all day today, but the lot beneath Mellon Square will remain open, according to the film office.

Pedestrians will not have access to sidewalks during filming, but in between takes, assistants will direct pedestrians through the closed area to stores, restaurants and office buildings, according to the film office.

Some Downtown businesses are leery of how the filming will affect them, but others are capitalizing on all the Batman hype.

Batman music filled Smithfield Street outside S.W. Randall Toyes and Giftes, where a "Gotham City welcomes Batman" sign and dozens of action figures depicting the Caped Crusader and his enemies were on display in the store's window.

Store owner Jack Cohen said that since late last week he has sold about 100 Pittsburgh-and-Batman-themed T-shirts for about $10 apiece. He said it was difficult to find all the merchandise for the front window.

"I thought we'd sell them to the people on the set, but it's all the local people that are buying them," Cohen said.

Ali Naderi, owner of Keystone Cafe and Deli on Sixth Avenue, said it might be difficult for delivery trucks to bring milk, bread and other supplies to his cafe since parking is not allowed on the opposite side of the street until Aug. 20.

Naderi hopes his business will not take a hit and lose out on revenue, but he said he'll find out the real effects today.

"We're ready for it," he said.

nope, they handed out yellow bandanas for us to wear and wave. If you look at the symbol for the rogues, you'll see it's a criminal with his face covered.
