Do you spend more/less/same

[steelguin]

I have a connection in Miami with access to season tickets and many places to stay in the areas just north of Miami, and we often go down over the Christmas Break. I am waiting for the schedule to see when that game is.

I went to a game in Miami a few years back. Ben got hurt and they put Laundry Jones in and we lost, it was a cool place to go. Really fun and a million Steeler fans there. Trying to get an Uber after was hell .

[whisper]

Amount of money on steeler gear/merchandise as you use to?
Do you attend more/less/same number of games as you use to?

If there is a change, one way or the other, why is that?

Less, less and less. Have grown weary of their "act." No longer blindly believe "they know what they are doing," as I once did. I used to be excited about every draft pick; have figured out that is misguided and have become more accurate at assessing players than they have. After the 1st few Tomlin years have determined that so much of what they claim is BS. Started to realize that the "Steeler way" no longer exists.

I've been to games in Miami several times, but never a Steelers game. Went to a final week game one year that clinched a pool for me so I was the one guy quietly cheering against the Dolphins.

Weird vibe in Miami. Much more casual atmosphere than in most other stadiums I've been to, although I don't think I've ever been there when Miami was relevant.

You got it all wrong dude. I could care less the player name as long as it says "Steelers".

Get em ON THE CHEAP on clearance my friend. Watt??? No thanks, it is like his deal....TOP DOLLAR.

Rockin a Barry Foster after he flamed out.

Wasn't there a cheap (likely Chinese) jersey place that used to advertise here?

Hey whisper you can buy one of a rare player you like (ex Watt) from a knock off, confident that your money is not going towards the team you despise or the league.

IF the Steelers were a Community City Franchise like the Green Bay Packers I'd buy a lot to show my pride.
That's similar to buying July 4 merch to show pride in America. Sadly, the NFL "OUTLAWED" such socialistic [ ]
tendencies and Ronald Reagan ratified it forever. I'm loyal to my country and my city but not necessarily to
the Rooney Family - but that's just me )

Yup, I decided to quit supporting businesses and such that don’t support me.
No more volunteering and very little donating for me.

People volunteer out of compassion for the recipients.
If you aint about that, anything else is justification for what you dont WANT to do.
Giving is ones choice of course but PLEASE dont make up some rationale to pretend otherwise.

I do not buy any gear , I get it as gifts from the grown kids ... last Jersey I bought was Troy after XL it was a commemorative SB jersey but was at a discount store so got for like $20 ( Gabriel bros ) took grandson and oldest son to Tampa / steelers preseason game a couple years ago in the burgh but parking was insane so i will never do it again .. last game prior to that was vs the Oilers in 3 rivers lol

Yup, after looking deeper into the recipient’s situation,I lost my compassion for them. I decided to quit giving my time and money.
